With the start of rain the temperature will start falling and water level in the river will start rising. In India the start of rising of water level in the rivers is marked as Ganga Dashahara. So this is the significance of Ganga Dashahara in the normal life of Indian society for the ages.
In the Vedic calendar Ganga Dashahara is celebrated as the “Day of Ganga” (birthday of Ganga) and Ganga is known for its power of purification. Purity in mind, body, behavior and relationship is the basis for support of nature and makes it easy to accomplish one’s desires.
This year Ganga Dashahara is falling on 3rd June 17. The next day to Ganga Dashahara i.e. 5th June 17 is also very auspicious and known as “Nirjala Ekadashi” (Day of Vishnu). The Yagya performed during these two days are of great significance as the purifying quality of the time nourishes the specific laws of nature through the Yagya performance.
