Ganges as Brahman

The ever-pure Brahman has been transformed into the Ganges to purify all beings. 
So the Ganges is truly Brahman in the form of water. 

The minds of all who live on the bank of the Ganges become divine, and the spiritual inclinations of these people manifest spontaneously. The air filled with moisture of the Ganges purifies the land as far as it blows. The people who live in that area are endowed with good conduct, devotion to God, steadfastness, generosity, and austerity by the grace of Ganges, the daughter of the great Himalayas.

- Sri Ramakrishna,
