Hi!I am NEHA .I study in class ix.Right now iam using Manish sir identification as mine is under preparation.I am writing you about “GANGA”.The Ganga is a major river of the Indian subcontinent rising in the Himalaya Mountains and flowing about 2,510 km (1,560 mi) generally eastward through a vast plain to the Bay of Bengal. There are number of temples on the bank of the Ganga river in Varanasi. It is believed that people are cleansed physically, mentally and spiritually at Ganga Ghats. It is at the Ganga Ghats where we see life and death together. There are more than 100 ghats along side Ganga in Varanasi. Some of the prominent and popular Ghats at Varanasi are the Dasaswamedh Ghat, Manikarnika Ghat, Harischandra Ghat, Kabir Ghat and Assi Ghat.Ganga Action Plan or GAP was a program launched by Government of India in April 1985 in order to reduce the pollution load on the river.

hello dear indian friends,
Your French pen mates have been on holidays for 2 weeks now, so they might not answer straight away to your mails. But don’t worry, everything will start again in september. Instead of writting to one person , why not creating “articles” that every body could read? I will be on summer break as well and I will be back in september with a lot of new ideas for the blog.
best regards;
véronique, your french referent for the projet “tell me a story”

let me tell you something about the ghats of varanasi.Varanasi has nearly 100 ghats. Many of the ghats were built when the city was under Maratha control. Marathas, Shindes (Scindias), Holkars, Bhonsles, and Peshwes (Peshwas) stand out as patrons of present-day Varanasi. Most of the ghats are bathing ghats, while others are used as cremation sites. Many ghats are associated with legends or mythologies while many ghats are privately owned.
looking forward for your reply.
RISHABH TEWARI.

hi! Theo how are you? today I am going to tell you a special thing about Indian Festivals.
India is a land of festivals and fairs. EVERY DAY of the year there is a festival celebrated in some part of the country. Some festivals welcome the seasons of the year, the harvest, the rains, or the full moon. Others celebrate religious occasions, the birthdays of divine beings, saints, and gurus (revered teachers), or the advent of the new year. A number of these festivals are common to most parts of India. However, they may be called by different names in various parts of the country or may be celebrated in a different fashion

Hi!! today I’m going 2 tell u something more about river Ganges . It’s lenth is 2510 kms & the Ganges basin is between 200 - 400 miles wide . Now I’m going tell u its religious importance .The river has been of supreme importance for Hinduism . the Aryans first settlad down near the river due to its extremely fertile nature .This gave birth to the consolination of tribes & the formation of large empires . Hinduism give a special respect to this river which can be judged by the fact that almost every major Hindu ritual involves the use of holy water from the Ganges . The river is also worshipped all over the country in the form of female deity . Ganges as a female goddess , appears in the epic Mahabharata . She is known as the mother of one of the the most important characters of the epic , Bhishma .
There are many Hindu pilgrims on the banks of or near the banks of Ganga .These sites attract a large no. of hindu pilgrims & tourists , The major pilgrim sites near Ganga include Rishikesh , Haridwar , Varanasi , Allahbad & Sangam .
