SynopsisThe Ganga enjoys a special place in
the hearts of millions. In this
unprecedented work, historian
Sudipta Sen tells the fascinating
story of the world's third-largest river
from prehistoric times to the
present.
Sen begins his chronicle with the
river's first settlers, its myths of
origin in Hinduism and its
significance in popular Buddhism.
He traces the communities that
arose on its banks, the merchants
that navigated its waters and the
many empires that shaped the river's
identity. Seamlessly weaving
together geography, ecology and
religious history, this lavishly
illustrated volume paints a
remarkable portrait of India's most
sacred and beloved river.
