“Ganges” is a category for books in which the Ganges River is a defining setting, symbol, or subject, spanning fiction, nonfiction, and poetry that trace its course from Himalayan headwaters through pilgrimage cities like Haridwar and Varanasi to the Sundarbans delta. Titles in this genre explore the river’s spiritual and cultural centrality, myths of the river-goddess, and the everyday lives of communities along its banks, while engaging themes of pilgrimage, ritual, caste, gender, and migration. It also includes travelogues and memoirs, investigative reportage, environmental and policy studies on pollution, conservation, and water politics, and historical works from ancient texts to colonial and contemporary transformations. Whether lyrical or analytic, “Ganges” books use the river to illuminate South Asian history and modernity, the interplay of sacred and secular life, and humanity’s evolving relationship with water.
