The Holy Ganges Flows Into Our houses

Diwali is the day on which the Hindus dip in the Ganges River and pray for absolution of sins. It is the important ritual in every Hindu house. But how can one reach the Ganges for their bath?

"I should finish my Holy Dip in the Holy Ganges before the eclipse ends," murmuring these words to himself the village cobbler Adarsh was rushing to the holy river.

He was the cobbler of the village Aranyapur which was five miles away from the banks of the River Ganges. He was in a hurry to go as the people on their way to the Ganges may need him at any time. He was very faithful to Goddess Ganges and used to do all rituals to worship her at home. On important occasions like this he would go to the river and make the holy dip.
