Gangasagar Mela History :
The history of Gangasagar dates back to the ancient instances of Hindu mythology. The Ramayana and the Mahabharata additionally have mentioned the place.
Legends say that the sacred area of Ganga Sagar is particularly well sized due to the fact of the Temple of Kapil Muni. He used to be a top-notch saint and according to myths, an incarnation of Lord Vishnu. It is believed that Kapil Muni performed a vital position in bringing the holy Ganga River onto the earth. The story goes like this –
Thousands of years ago, 60,000 sons of King Sagar visited this location in pursuit of their father’s sacrificial horse. Devraj Indra had stolen the horse and hidden it beside Kapil Muni’s ashram. The king’s sons were unaware of the fact and began cursing the saint for stealing their father’s horse. This interrupted the rishi’s meditation and he was in a monstrous fury. The blaze of his anger exuded out of his eyes, burning the king’s sons and confining their souls to hell.
After many years, King Sagar’s grandson, Bhagirath, advised the saint to liberate the souls from his curse. Kapil Muni steered him to carry Goddess Ganga to the location and the souls got freedom upon the touch of Her holy water. As per myth, it was the auspicious day of Makar Sankranti when the cursed souls have been freed from their aches and sins.
Gangasagar Mela is an ode to the legend when hundreds of pilgrims take a holy dip into the Ganga River to get rid of their sins and obtain salvation.
