A pilgrimage that interweaves the never-ending loop of uncertainty, faith, danger, and redemption Since its inception, millions have embarked on this perilous pilgrimage, risking their lives with the belief that a dip at this holy confluence will wash away the sins of a lifetime. Hence the genesis of Khanar Vachan (the Gospel of the Soothsayer), "Sab Tirtha Barbar Gangasagar Ekbar."
GANGASAGAR MELA IS THE WORLD'S SECOND-LARGEST HUMAN CONGREGATION AT THE CONFLUENCE OF THE HOLY RIVER GANGA AND THE BAY OF BENGAL AFTER KUMBH. THE ISLAND IS QUITE LARGE WITH AN AREA OF 224.3 KM LOCATED ON THE CONTINENTAL SHELF OF THE BAY OF BENGAL ABOUT 100 KM SOUTH OF KOLKATA.
Gangasagar, the largest and the oldest living tradition in Bengal, has been mentioned in Indian epics such as the Ramayana and Mahabharata, putting its existence as early as 400 BCE.
