The Ganges (Ganga) River is the life-giver and sacred thread of Bihar. Flowing 445 km across the middle of the state, it feeds thousands of agricultural farms and supports rural life. Major ancient cities like Patna and Bhagalpur have grown on its banks. It is clean, rich, and provides a protected habitat for amazing aquatic species like the rare, blind Gangetic River Dolphins and beautiful fishes.
