"Autobiography of a River"

          Hello friends, I am a River, I want to tell something about me and something about my life. I

am the river Ganga. I flow all the way across the plains of North Indian before finally flowing into Bay of Bengal. 

       People pray to me. They perform the last rites for their dead on my banks. Then they immerse the ashes in me. I am revered by people throughout the country. people affectionately call me Ganga Maiya.

       I pass by scores of holy towns and cities such as Haridwar, Hrishikesh, Allahabad and Varanasi. On my banks are great religious centres and places of pilgrimage. I provide water to thousands of people for their day-to-day living. I even provide water for fisheries and irrigation. Electricity is generated with the help of my water.

  

        I know that I am very important. Without me your land would be nothing but a barren desert. All 

I ask in return is that you keep me clean.
