Autobiography of a River: In this article, I am going to learn how to write an Autobiography of the river Ganga. So, let&#;s get started.

Autobiography of a River

I rose from a glacier known as Gangotri in the Himalayas thousands of years ago. Then came cascading down the mountains in a torrent. I flowed over the rocky bed, forming tiny rivulets, springs and streams. My water was icy-cold but absolutely clear and pure. My water swelled when the snow melted. l was proud, triumphant, and majestic. The Hindus consider me to be the holy river and worship me.

In the course of my long journey to the sea, I reached the plains and become a broad river with a slow but steady flow. About miles from its source, I was united with the river Alaknanda and then touched the plains, near Haridwar. I am a fair-sized stream of clear, blue water there. From Haridwar, I flow to Allahabad where I embrace the Jamuna which originates in Garhwal in the Himalayas. The confluence of our waters is a place of pilgrimage. After leaving Allahabad, I flow eastwards to Varanasi, the city of temples. I move past Ghazipur, Patna, Munger and meet the great river, Brahmaputra, miles away from the sea.
