Ganges

The Ganges is the holiest river in the world. As well as filling wells and irrigating crops to sustain the cities and villages along its banks, it is the spiritual life-blood of India's primary religion, Hinduism. Ganges reveals the source of the river high in the Himalayas and follows tis route as it sharply incises the mountains on its journey southeast. Along the way, we discover the Hindu story of the river's creation and how it supports the myriad forms of life that thrive on its banks. In this book, Jon Nicholson takes the reader on a breath-taking photographic trip down the world's holiest river, the Ganges.
