Revered as a goddess, a lifeline to millions, the Ganges is believed to fall from the heavens and land on the head of a god, then off a single strand of his hair to escape down to the Earth.
While I gained elevation to seek the river's source - the Gangotri glacier, I wondered how the story originated.
Continuing a few miles above, I reached a vast meadow confronted by a towering mountain.
The high alt meadow enveloped a sense of tranquility in the air.
Locals called it "Tapovan" - a meditation garden.
On the parting night, long past dusk, as I lay down under a blanket of million stars, arose a dazzling milky way leaving me in absolute awe.
Everything stopped at that moment.
Devoid of thought, I just felt...belonged.
Moments later, like an epiphany, everything rushed back to me.
The celestial river pours on the head of the mountain; a gentle stream is heard flowing to unite with the larger river.
