Description

The Ganga flows some 2,525 kilometres from the Himalayas to the Bay of Bengal, where it forms the Sundarbans, the world’s largest mangrove forest. Around 500 million people live along its banks or farm the land it waters. It is worshipped as a goddess, and it is also badly polluted, with its river dolphins in danger.

Bidisha Banerjee, trained in environmental science and climate policy, spent ten years following the river from its source to the sea. In this, her first book, she looks at the Ganga’s myths, cities, ecology and politics, including the efforts to clean it.
