The heavenly origins
Tracing back the origin of the Ganges, we need to talk of the puranic story of Bagiratha who was instrumental in getting Ganges on to the earth. It is believed that Ganges is the cosmic river (Brahma Tirth) which poured down on the heavens when the left toe of Trivikrama (the manifestation of Mahavishnu) pierced the skies.

Through his intense penance, Bagiratha brought down the heavenly Ganges to emancipate the souls of the sixty thousand sons of Sagara which lay imprisoned in their ashes due to the curse of sage Kapila. Since then, Ganges has been said to be engaged in the divine mission of warding off the sins of all people and emancipating them.
The physical origins
With the Puranic stories attributing Bagiratha’s efforts to have brought the Ganges onto the earth, the principal source of the Ganges is named as Bagirathi which originates at a place called Gaumukh in the Himalayas. The source for Bagirathi is a huge glacier stretching over 75 square miles. After Bagirathi merges with Alakanada at Devaprayag, the name Ganges ensues.

One another large tributary to the Ganges is Ghagara that originates very near to Mount Kailas and joins the Ganges near Patna. The Ghantak near Kathmandu is another major tributary to the holy river. Thus, several holy waters pour their contents into the Ganges enriching it quantitatively and qualitatively.
Association with Trimurtis
Ganges is associated with the trinity of Hinduism namely Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. In the first place, Brahma is said to undertake the act of creation with the help of Gangajal stored in his Kamandal. He used Gangajal to wash to divine feet of Lord Mahavishnu during the Trivikrama Avatar.
Association with Trimurtis – 2
Since the torrential flow of Ganges would be enough to shatter the earth into pieces, Lord Shiva accepted to receive it on his matted hair and release it mildly on the earth. Thus the Lord assumed the name Gangadhar with the icon of Shiva always depicted with the strands of Ganga waters flowing down from his hairs.
