Bhagiratha Name Details

Bhagiratha is a Sanskrit name derived from the combination of 'bhaga' meaning 'divine fortune' or 'good fortune', and 'ratha' meaning 'chariot'. In Hindu mythology, Bhagiratha was a legendary king of the Ikshvaku dynasty who successfully brought the divine river Ganga (the river goddess) to the Earth to cleanse the sins of his ancestors. It is believed that Bhagiratha performed intense penance for several years to persuade Lord Brahma to release the mighty river Ganga from her celestial abode. Bhagiratha's efforts are highly revered in Hinduism and he is considered a symbol of determination and devotion.
