Ganga Dussehra (Uttar Pradesh)

According to the legends, Gangavataran or the descent of the Ganga, happened at this time. Devotees touch the water of River Ganga, bathe in it, and take the river clay home to venerate. In Haridwar, aratis are performed at twilight and a large number of devotees meditate on her serene banks.
