The Dirtiest Place In The World

June 20, 2009

In the Hindu religion it is said to flow from the lotus feet of Vishnu or the hair of Shiva. While the Ganges may be considered holy, there are some problems associated with the ecology. It is filled with chemical wastes, sewage and even the remains of human and animal corpses which carry major health risks by either direct bathing in the water, or by drinking.” w/ photos
