The Ganges River has been regarded sacred and the holiest of all rivers in Hinduism since time immemorial. It is personified as the Goddess Ganga, and it is thought that bathing in the river brings good fortune, enables sins to be forgiven, and aids the attainment of moksha (liberation from the cycle of life and death). In Indian tradition, the Goddess Ganga is frequently represented with four hands and riding on her vahana (vehicle), the Makara, an animal having the head of a crocodile and the tail of a dolphin. Along the Ganges, there are several religious sites, including Gangotri, Haridwar, Allahabad, Varanasi, and Kali Ghat. The Kumbh Mela is a large Hindu pilgrimage held in four cities: Haridwar, Prayag, Ujjain, and Nashik.
