Amar Chitra Katha Vol. 515 Ganga : Gujarati

Ganga's purifying waters were desperately needed on Earth, yet the spirited daughter of the mountain god refused to be contained. Her waters surged uncontrollably until only Shiva could subdue her, ensnaring her in the coils of his hair. Once tamed, her waters flowed forth, calmer and purer, transforming arid wastelands into fertile fields and replenishing the oceans. Since ancient times, when King Bhagiratha sought her aid, Ganga, whether roaring or serene, dancing or solemn, has captivated all with her life-giving splendor.
