| Video Discription | https://mocomi.com/ presents: Ganga River Facts - Starting Point, End Point, Pollution and more. River Ganga is about 1557 miles long(2506 km). The Ganges basin is about 200 to 400 miles (322 to 644 km) wide. River Ganga originates from the Gangotri Glacier on the southern slopes of the Himalayas, which is 14,000 feet above sea level. River Bhagirathi and Alaknanda join each other at Devprayag, to form River Ganga. Hindus have always believed Ganga Jal to be pure, pious and drinkable. In many Hindu rituals (from birth to death) much reverence is given to Ganga water. River Ganga is considerd to be very pure. In 1896, a British bactoriologist Ernest Hanbury Hankin tested that bacterium Vibrio Cholerae that causes the deadly cholera, died within three hours when put into the waters of Ganga. The same bacteria continued to thrive in distilled water even after 48 hours. The presence of bacteriophages (viruses that kill bacteria) in the water of Ganges is considered as the reason behind this quality and its purity. In a study conducted by Malaria Research Center in New Delhi it was observed that water from upper ambits of Ganga did not host mosquito breeding, and also prevented mosquito breeding if added to another water source. An unknown substance in Ganga acts on organic materials and bacteria and kills them. Ganga’s self-purifying quality leads to oxygen levels 25 times higher than any other river in the world. Mistpouffers or Barisal Guns are unexplained sounds that resemble a sonic boom that have been reported to be heard in Ganga. They resemble the sonic boom of a supersonic jet. Ganga in Haridwar has shifted from its original course by 500 meters in the past few decades. In Bihar, some parts of the river have shifted more than 2.5 km since 1990. River Ganga holds a sacred place in the hearts of Indians. #GangaRiver #FunFacts #Geography For more facts about Ganga, visit: https://mocomi.com/ganga-river-facts/ For more fun facts videos and interactive articles, visit:https://mocomi.com/learn/general-knowledge/ Watch more fun facts videos in one go here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amj0H6r-jSA&list=PL6vCwGtCTVtNpbEXi1Li5qQAKd_k4dhXJ Subscribe here for new and interesting content every week ► ► https://www.youtube.com/mocomikids?sub_confirmation=1 Press Bell Icon 🔔; For Latest Updates.
