With the beginning of Jyeshtha Shukla Paksha, Ganga Snan has also started. The glory of Snan in the Ganga during the Shukla Paksha of this month is described in many texts.  The glory of Snan in the Ganga has been special from the Pratipada of Shukla Paksha of Jyestha month of the Hindu calendar.  This year Ganga Snan is starting on Tuesday, this day is also known as Bada Mangal.  At this time the deities reside in the pilgrimage cities.

Sean in the Ganga is a very auspicious time. On this day, devotees participate enthusiastically in Snan in the Ganga, offer prasad to their deity, perform rituals and take a bath in the holy river as it liberates them from the miseries and sins of life.  Devotees also observe fast and worship Shiva and organize special pujas for the Lord in temples.

Sean in the holy river Ganga is auspicious only every month and it is of utmost importance at the time of Shukla Paksha when the moon finds its growth. Ganga Snan starts in the early morning.  People also worship Lord Vishnu by offering him flowers and offerings.

 Every date that falls at this time is special. There are also special rituals from Pratipada to Poornima. Stories related to Purnima or Ekadashi symbolize the awakening of Lord Vishnu.
