In response to an RTI application from Governance Now, the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) revealed that Ganga water is contaminated in places with up to 3 lakh fecal coliform bacteria and 5 lakh total coliform bacteria per 100 ml.
Even at Haridwar & Rishikesh, fecal coliform has been found as high as 1150 mpn/100ml
Sourcing Supervised by Rawal Pujari Pt. Premkant Semwal, one of the foremost priests of the Gangotri Mandir in the Himalayan Valley. His sacred guidance ensures that Gangajal is collected with the highest spiritual standards, providing the most authentic offering to devotees.
Untouched by Human Pollution:
While others source their Gangajal water from locations surrounded by human populations like: Haridwar, Rishikesh, Devprayag etc. We trek to the remote Himalayan Mountains near “GOMUKH” where there is no human presence to pollute this sacred water.
This ensures the absolute purity of our Gangajal, free from pollutants and contamination
At Poorthi, we understand that you may have questions about buying our Gangajal online and the services we provide. Below are answers to some of the most common queries:
We are known for our purity. However, as per India’s FSSAI regulations, any water intended for consumption must undergo treatment to meet drinking standards. While necessary for regular water, treating Gangajal would strip away its natural purity, which we believe goes against its sacredness. Thus, we provide this Gangajal for ritual purposes only, untouched and unfiltered. Though not for consumption, we hope you cherish this sacred offering in its purest form for your prayers and spiritual offerings.
Poorthi’s Gangajal is backed by the priest of the Gangotri Temple, ensuring its authenticity. Our Gangajal is sourced from 10,500 feet in the untouched Himalayan region, far from human interference. We focus on transparency, purity, and the sacredness of the product, ensuring it is directly from the source, just as nature intended. Unlike other brands, we maintain the true form of Gangajal without filtration or alteration.
While Haridwar and Rishikesh hold spiritual significance, pollution levels in the Ganga, even in these regions, are concerning. Fecal coliform counts have been recorded as high as 1150 mpn/100 ml, indicating contamination. In contrast, Gangajal from untouched sources near Gangotri is much purer, making it a better choice for religious rituals. Purity plays a crucial role in maintaining the sanctity of offerings in Hindu rituals
