This footage shows the ritual of ablution in the Ganges River. Thousands of Hindu believers bath without fear in the poisonous river on Magha Purnima, the sacred night of the full moon. ’It’s a belief that for this day bathing that all wishes are fulfilled,’ says one of the ritual participants, Arun Pandey. At one time, the water in the Ganges was clean and even considered healing, but now it is dangerous for the health to even enter the water. Leather factories and local residents dump waste there, also people send the bodies of loved ones to the river. About the horrific consequences of using the dirtiest river in the world, watch our video and film Cry of a River - #rt #rtdocumentary #documentary #youtube #watch #world #life #people #rtdoc #India #GangesRiver #Ganges #water #saveplanet #nature #river
