The Ganges is the longest and widest river in India.
In some cases, the length of the Ganges is given by its Hooghly River distributary, which is longer than its main outlet via the Meghna River, resulting in a total length of about 2,704 km (1,680 mi), if taken from the source of the Bhagirathi, or 2,321
The Ganges is a lifeline to millions of people who live in its basin and depend on it for their daily needs
