  Ganga Dussehra or Gangavataran is believed to be the day when Goddess Ganga materialized (set foot) on Earth from heaven. She chose to do so, to confer years-long prayers of Saint Bhagirath.   The festival is observed for ten days and the last day is called Shukla Dashami.

Ganga Dussehra signifies the potential of sacred Ganges to purify the ten sins which are related to actions, speech, and thoughts. Ganga Dussehra is among the most popular festivals in June in India meant for religious people and those who seek sight of true Hindu culture.
