If it is said that livelihood, agriculture, forests, wildlife, animals, traditions, traditions, cultural heritage and identity, public life, rites, happiness, sadness and death in India are the center of the whole system of life, Will not be. Not only this, even on the world front, the Ganga is a symbol of India's cleanness, purity and integrity. From the earliest, a lot has been said, heard and written about the Ganga. The superiority of the Ganga has been mentioned in Vedic Rishas.1 But in the mythological story, the Ganga is not just a water source, but it is reflected in the form of a moksha pradayini, sinful woman, and other divine powers. Maharishi Valmiki, an adjoining adherent of surrenditious and high human qualities, has also tried to expose this aspect of the Ganges in poetic and rugged form. In fact, the charge of Chetan on the root has been the main feature of the poet's poetry, but the personalization of any object depends on the creation and poet's genius. Maharishi Valmiki, who resides in the romantic craft of nature, is very proficient in this art. Acharya Baldev Upadhyay's statement is that Adikavi's speech is purely Bhagirathi, in which the readers and the poets do not know themselves as sacred, they are also capable of understanding the heart-shaped nature of the true poetic style. 2 In fact, in the forest, Maharishi Valmiki He has done extremely subtle inspection of nature and human emotions in such a way that it is not a real natural wealth. But, no human feelings steeped in a living creature. In this sequence, Adikavi has interpreted the Ganga as a Divine Manushi. As a human being, the Ganga behaves like a sansari organism bound to temporal and supernatural subjects. Maharishi Valmiki has displayed the Ganges as a divine woman saturated with the feminine qualities of mother, wife, daughter, sisterhood, beloved and sister-in-law.
