Description
A lyrical tribute to India's most revered and enigmatic river, the Ganges is a journey that weaves together tradition and modernity. Along its 2,500km course, Ilija Trojanow encounters the sacred and the profane, from the source in the Himalayas to the bustling cities of the subcontinent.
This travelogue is a testament to the power of the Ganges, a river that has been revered as a goddess by Hindus for centuries. As Trojanow navigates its banks, he meets those who worship at its holy waters and those who warn of ecological disaster caused by massive dams. A fascinating exploration of a country caught between ancient customs and astonishing modernity.
