Episode description
Ganga was the eldest daughter of Himalaya and lived-in heaven.
When 60 thousand sons of King Sagar were burned by Kapila muni, multiple generations of Ikshvaku Kings performed penance to bring the divine river to earth.
Eventually it was Bhagirath who succeeded in bringing Ganga to earth by first pleasing Brahmadev to release Ganga from heaven and then convincing Shivaji to hold the fall of the mighty river when she descended from heaven.
Thus, Ganga came to earth and stayed here.
