In Hinduism, the river Ganges is considered sacred and is personified as a goddess known as Ganga. It is worshipped by Hindus who believe that bathing in the river causes the remission of sins and facilitates Moksha (liberation from the cycle of life and death) the water of Ganga is considered very pure.
Ganga was believed to be born from the kamandala of Brahma , touched the feet of Vamana and trapped in the locks of Krishna. According to the Skanda Purana , Shiva marries both the daughters of Himavan.These two daughters are Ganga and Uma(Parvathi). That is one reason we call Ganesha as Gangey.
