'The holy Ganga'.
The Ganga is a trans-boundary river of Asia which flows through India and Bangladesh. The 2,525 km river rises in the western Himalayas in the Indian state of Uttarakhand, and flows south and east through the Gangetic Plain of North India into Bangladesh, where it empties into the Bay of Bengal.
Supporting over 11% of world's population as it passes through the densest populated regions on the planet, it is the third largest river on Earth by discharge.
The Ganges is the most sacred river to Hindus. It is a lifeline to millions of Indians who live along its course and depend on it for their daily needs. It is worshipped as the goddess Ganga in Hinduism.

6th century Ardhanarishvara (left half Shiva, right half Parvati) with Nandi left, female attendant right (cave 1), Badami cave temple Karnataka, India
Cave 1 at Badami is dedicated to Shiva, yet reverentially displays themes and ideas of Vaishnavism and Shaktism. Further, the cave also presents the Hindu equivalence and interdependence concepts of Harihara (fused equal Shiva-Vishnu) and Ardhanarishvara (fused equal masculine-feminine).
The Badami region is home to numerous medieval era Hindu and Jain temples and monuments.
