Tucked into the burgeoning hills and valleys of the Himalayas is the greatest mother of all:
Ganga.
Ananda has been told the stories about the goddess Ganga all her life, a holy river beloved by the millions of people who bathe in her.
With her mamma sick, Ananda and Maasi, her aunt, make their way to the great river to experience the powerful tradition of bathing in the water. It’s within the Great Mother’s swirling embrace that Ananda embarks on a healing and eye-opening journey, finding more than she ever could have imagined along the way.
