Scientist Proves Ganga Water Remains Pure Despite 57 Crore Devotees Taking A Dip

Over 57 crore devotees have taken a holy dip in the Ganga during the Maha Kumbh, yet its purity remains intact.

Padma Shri scientist Dr. Ajay Kumar Sonkar, who has previously engaged in scientific discussions with Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, has confirmed through laboratory research that Ganga water is not only fit for bathing but as pure as alkaline water.

Challenging sceptics, Dr. Sonkar has debunked doubts regarding the river’s purity with scientific evidence.

He has issued an open challenge, inviting anyone with concerns to test Ganga water in his laboratory and verify its purity.

Dr. Sonkar, known for challenging Japan’s dominance in pearl farming, collected water samples from five ghats, including Sangam and Arail.

Following three months of research, he confirmed that Ganga water remains the purest, posing no risk to bathers.

Laboratory tests revealed that the river retains its extraordinary self-purifying ability due to the presence of bacteriophages.

Dr. Sonkar, recognized as one of India’s leading scientists, collected water samples from major bathing ghats, including Sangam Nose and Arail in Maha Kumbh Nagar.

Microscopic analysis in his laboratory found no bacterial growth or changes in the water’s pH level, despite crores of devotees bathing in the river.

His research identified 1,100 types of bacteriophages—natural viruses that destroy harmful bacteria. This ensures that Ganga water remains naturally uncontaminated, even after 57 crore devotees have bathed in it.

Despite claims suggesting that Ganga water is unfit for Achman and bathing, Dr. Sonkar’s findings refute these assertions.

He confirmed that the water’s pH level, ranging between 8.4 and 8.6, remains optimal, with no foul smell or bacterial growth detected.

Even after incubating the water samples for 14 hours, no harmful bacteria developed.

Ganga Water Is Safe For Bathing: Dr. Ajay Kumar Sonkar

Dr. Sonkar emphasized that Ganga water is safe for bathing and does not cause skin diseases.

He has challenged sceptics to collect water samples from the ghats and verify their purity in the laboratory.

Despite over 57 crore devotees taking a dip, the river remains disease-free due to its natural self-purifying properties.

Dr. Sonkar also addressed concerns raised before the Maha Kumbh, where Ganga water portrayed as highly polluted.

He questioned these claims, stating that if the river were truly contaminated, hospitals would be overwhelmed with patients.

However, the exceptional self-purifying power of the Ganga has ensured that despite such a massive influx of devotees, not a single case of illness has reported due to water contamination.

He challenged critics to explain why no health issues arose among the millions who bathed in the river.

Further elaborating, Dr. Sonkar explained that bacterial growth typically increases acidity in water, as bacteria produce acidic byproducts like lactic acid or carbonic acid.

However, tests of five different Ganga water samples consistently showed an alkaline nature, with pH levels between 8.4 and 8.6, confirming the absence of harmful bacterial activity.

Moreover, the number of living bacteria in the samples was extremely low, and they lacked the ability to multiply.

Even under incubation at 37°C, bacterial growth remained stagnant, proving that Ganga water retains its natural purity and remains free from contamination.
