Ganesh Himal, Ganga Jamuna Pilgrimage

According to religious beliefs, Ganesh Mountain is the residence of Lord Ganesh. The front side of the hill locates Ganga Jamuna fall which is a holy waterfall. According to traditional beliefs , this fall is regarded to be falling from the trunk of Lord Ganesh. Similarly, the nearby Kukurdhara is regarded to be falling as teardrops of Lord Ganesh and is believed that this liquid is a germ disinfectant.

Ganga Jamuna fall is one of the famous and panoramic falls of Nepal. This fall flows from the height of 2,800m and accumulates in at a small valley at height of 1,800m where pilgrims gather. While falling from a height of 1,000m, the water droplets are dispersed in the air and shines brightly which creates really heart-appealing scene. Moreover, in the month of April and June, when the source gets dried up, a group of villagers pray for water with ‘PancheBaja’(a type of Nepali musical repertoire) singing Hara HaraGangePaniDeuDeu(give us water dear Ganga, the Goddess of water). As soon as they sing this prayer, the water starts accumulating in the source and showers over everyone, drenching them which is an astonishing event.

Ganga Jamuna has been described as sisters in the Himalayan Myth. These falls, mingling with other rivers when reach India, are popular as Ganga and Yamuna.

On the occasion of Kartik Shukla Paksha(a day in the month of October/November), there is a grand festival in this holy place. On this very day, a huge mass of pilgrims gather here covering the entire hill. The drums and other musical instruments played by the Lamas echo in all directions. The pilgrims stay there all night lighting up the diyos, singing and dancing and on the following day of Hari bodhini Ekadashi, they take bath in the Ganga Jamuna fall and worship early in the morning. After then there is a tradition of bathing in the Kukur Dhara. There is a strong belief that, if one takes bath in Kukur Dhara on this day he won’t be affected by dog bite. And in the end this ritual is completed by offering cow milk and by flying pigeon, the symbol of peace. This festival is religiously, culturally, historical and scientifically very important.
