According to the Vedic Purana, even a person of modest means can attain the blessings of Ganga Dussehra by standing in the holy waters of the Ganga and reciting the sacred psalm ten times with devotion. The act of worshiping the Ganga through sincere effort yields the same rewards. This ritual of bathing on Dussehra is steeped in tradition.
The Skanda Purana refers to this psalm as the Ganga Dussehra Stotra. The prescribed method for its recitation involves envisioning the magnificent form of the three-eyed Lord, adorned with the four arms, jewel-encrusted crown, white lotus, and bestowing hands in a white attire.
This ritual is a beautiful way to connect with the divine during the auspicious occasion of Ganga Dussehra.
