Description: From its glacial birthplace high in the Himalayas to its sprawling delta at the Bay of Bengal, the Ganges is at once a river, a goddess, and a civilization.

Along the way, it examines the rich ecosystems the river sustains and the engineering feats that have long sought to harness its power. A vivid portrait of one of the world's most storied waterways—where geography, faith, and human ambition meet.
