episode Ganga Descends to Earth | Hindu Story for Peace & Sleep cover

Description

A king's sixty thousand sons reduced to ash. Souls trapped between worlds for generations. One devoted prince who gave up everything - his throne, his comfort, his years - to bring a heavenly river down to earth. This is the story of Bhagiratha, whose unwavering faith moved Lord Brahma, humbled Lord Shiva, and brought the sacred Ganga flowing from the heavens to wash away the sins of his ancestors. A timeless tale of devotion, sacrifice, and the love that echoes across lifetimes.
