Since
that time this place has been regarded as the one of
the holiest places to take bath. Gangasagar Yatra especially
falls on either 14th or 15th January every year in
which the devotees perform their rituals and prayer
and take a dip in the holy Ganges. The very concept
behind this holy dip during Gangasagar Yatra is to
cleanse and to purify the soul. Gangasagar Yatra is
also famous all over the world for the Kumbh Mela where
devotees in lakhs take holy dip in the Ganges River.
Gangasagar Yatra is made to the place where the Ganges
flows into the Bay of Bengal surrounded by Sagara Island
and Diamond Harbor at the confluence of Ganges and
Bay of Bengal. Gangasagar Yatra offers other Darshan
like Gangasagar Yatra to Kapila Muni Temple, Gangasagar
Yatra during Makara-Sankranti, Gangasagar Yatra to
Kalna, Gangasagar Yatra to Devananda Gaudiya Math and
Gangasagar Yatra to Dhameswara Temple.
