For the Indian mass, the Ganges has been a symbol of India's ancient culture and civilization. The Ganga in its original form has not only irrigated an entire civilization for centuries but also fed and maintained it even after continuously changing its form and flow. Ganga is the symbol of eternity and all the arts, mythological stories and literature praise its existence. The Ganga is associated with Puranas, art, culture and history. It is mentioned at various places in ancient Indian Vangmey to contemplate. From the Vedic period to the pre-medieval period, the Ganges is weaved in various forms. During the Vedic period, Ganga has been worthy of  religious significance and its water was notably used from the medical point of view.
