Ganga Ghat: A Place of Worship Drowning in Pollution

Dubela, Prinona Ghosh: The signs of devotion are now buried under rising layers of pollution. The riverbank, once a symbol of purity, is now littered with plastic bags, soggy food wrappers, and broken mud pots. Ritual ashes mix with sewage, drifting into the water alongside wilted flower garlands.
With every passing day, the pollution intensifies—more waste, more neglect. The sacred steps are stained, not just by time, but by indifference. The air is thick with the scent of incense, now clashing with the stench of decay. Empty bottles and discarded ritual items float alongside once-clear waters. The Ganga flows on, silently bearing the weight of human carelessness.
