Thousands of devotees and even tourists flocked at the various ghats (bathing locations) along the banks of Ganga River that passes through the city to take part in the religious rituals.
According to Hindu scriptures, Ganga River descended to earth from heaven on this day, and the devotees believe taking a dip in its waters leads to freedom for the devotees from the cycle of rebirth and attaining salvation.
Amid these religious rituals, many of the devotees expressed their concern over the polluted state of the Ganges.
