Ganga River is sacred and the land was fertile and flourishing, which brought more humans to
this land; many through the waterways. This resulted in the mushrooming of temples on the
river banks. The location closer to the bank also facilitated performing of various ceremonies

the banks turned into secular sacred prayer sites.
