SPECIAL FACTS AND MYTHS ABOUT NARMADA
Among all the sacred rivers of India, the Narmada occupies a unique place. Legend has it that Lord Shiva blessed Narmada with unique purifying powers. Whereas to purify himself, a devotee requires to take one dip in the Holy Ganga, seven days' prayers on the banks of Yamuna and three days prayers on the banks of Saraswati, the mere sight of Narmada is enough.
A charming folk tale describes the Narmada. Once every year, after she herself is polluted beyond tolerance, Ganga visits Narmada and takes a cleansing purifying dip in its waters!
There are other rivers too, popular, romantic and life sustaining, each glamorized in the folk lore and history but the mystique of Narmada is different.
