Mother Ganga flows northward (Uttarvahini) in the sacred city of Lord Vishwanath, making this place uniquely divine. Because of this, a special spiritual energy and radiance of Mother Ganga is believed to be present here, giving great importance to Ganga Snan (holy bathing) and Ganga Pujan (worship).
Ganga Pujan is performed before the start of the Ganga Aarti, marking the beginning of this sacred ritual. It is not just a ceremony, but a deeply spiritual act filled with devotion and faith. Devotees perform this pujan to seek peace and harmony in their families, to remove obstacles in life and business, and to invite positivity and prosperity.
It holds special significance for newly married couples or those starting a new phase of life, as they seek the blessings of Mother Ganga before beginning their journey. Performing Ganga Pujan just before the Aarti is considered highly auspicious, as it prepares the mind and surroundings for the divine ritual, when the spiritual energy soon reaches its peak during the Ganga Aarti.
