LORD SIVA WEARS THE GANGA ON HIS HEAD

Once upon a time in Mount Kailas, Parvati closed the eyes of Lord Siva with her hands.

Thereupon the sun, moon and fire did not shine forth. This caused terrible havoc in the

world. All were enveloped by darkness for a long period. Lord Siva opened His third eye

a bit. The sun, moon and fire began to shine again and all darkness vanished.

Parvati was frightened. She removed her hands and dropped down the perspiration

from her fingers. This perspiration was turned into ten Gangas with countless branches.

These rivers did much havoc to the world. Thereupon Lord Brahma, Vishnu and Indra

ran to Lord Siva and requested Him to avert this catastrophe.

the Ganga for their worlds. Lord Siva gave them a little. They became Virajanadi in
