In Season 2, I am travelling from the origin of Ganga which is from Gangotri but it ends up in Murshidabad. I also travel along with Ganga and its tributaries. It's very important to understand that Ganga all along the journey is not just Ganga but a contribution from many other tributaries that makes Ganga that we meet.
