Hindus believe bathing in the river

causes the remission of sins

 and facilitates liberation

 from the cycle of life and death.

 Hindus travel long distances

 to immerse the ashes of their kin

 in the waters of the Ganga.

 Hindus believe that if they do not go

to the Ganges then they will not go to heaven.
