"Sunlight glints on the bearded face of Gangotri Glacier high in the Himalayas at the source of the Ganges River. Many Hindus believe the goddess-river fell from heaven, tamed by the god Shiva, who trapped her Earth-threatening torrent in his matted locks."
—From the National Geographic book Great Rivers of the World, 1984
