River Ganga in Udupi !

                                    River Ganga in Udupi !

It is believed that in Udupi, River Ganga comes for every 12 years. It may sound surprising that river Ganga comes to Udupi.
It dates back to the time of Madhwacharya . One day Madwacharya had an ambition to bath in river Ganga. He expressed his wish near his master.
That time, his master said no need of going to north India to take bath in river Ganga. River Ganga will come to Udupi. As the master said River Ganga was there in Madwa Sarovar. Since that time, it is believed that for every 12 years, River Ganga come to Udupi.
There is evidence also for the arrival of Ganga. When River Ganga come to udupi that is to Madhwa Sarovar, that time, the colour of water gets changed to white colour. That is the sign to show the arrival of Ganga. That day is celebrated as Bhagirathi Jayanti.
