      I could not visit .
      I had been there about 15 days earlier while on a visit to Gaya and Varanasi.
      With all dirt and unhygienic conditions, Ganga is Ganga.

      I am always amazed and feel so small when I see and visit The Himalayas and the Ganges.

      There is something mystical about them.
