For centuries, Hindus have called it the nectar of God, believing that just a drop brings salvation. Now it comes as a new vintage for water goblets: water from the Ganges River.
Two Indian businessmen have built a plant high in the Himalayas to bottle Ganges water for sale in India and abroad.
And they’re unfazed at the prospect of competing with better-known mineral waters.
“This is something much more superior,” said Ved Prakash Gupta, one of the partners in the venture. According to Gupta, this water is not only clean, refreshing and liver-friendly. It’s holy.
.....The Ganges is one of the world’s filthiest rivers, but the pollution starts downstream from the plant, in the densely populated plains. “Ganga Jal” is drawn from the fountainhead of the river at an elevation of 8,550 feet near the town of Gangotri--190 miles north of New Delhi.
