A Divinity In Flow Ganga
(By Amitabh Bachchan ) (Text: Vijay Singal)
This book is the result of three years of extensive travel along the 2510 kms. long river-right from the Gangotri glacier (the source of the river) down to the Ganga Sagar, where it merges into the Bay of Bengal. Its uniqueness lies in its approach to the subject. It does not focus only on the popular destinations such as Rishikesh, Haridwar and Varanasi. Instead, more than 300 pictures portray the daily life of millions of people living around this river, as it grows from gentle streams, flows through the planes of north India and is consumed through the vast delta of the Sunderbans.
‘The book presents an interesting combination of mythology, art, culture, spirituality and history related to the mighty river"
