However, they accidentally killed a sage named Kapila, who was meditating in the forest. As a result, the sage cursed the thousand sons to be turned into ashes. Bhagiratha was heartbroken by the death of his brothers, and he decided to do whatever it took to bring them back to life. He went to the Himalayas and prayed to Lord Shiva for help. Shiva told Bhagiratha that he would have to bring the Ganges River to earth in order to revive his brothers. Bhagiratha then set out on a long journey to find the Ganges River. He traveled to the Himalayas and met with Ganga, the goddess of the river. Ganga was reluctant to come to earth, as she was afraid of causing too much damage. However, Bhagiratha eventually convinced her to come, and she agreed to flow down from the Himalayas to the plains of India.

The Ganges River has been a source of life and prosperity for India ever since. गंगावतरण (Gangavataran) is a well-written and engaging novel that tells a fascinating story from Hindu mythology.
