Six boys are sitting on the banks of the polluted Ganges River in Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, India, near the tannery area of Jajmau. Sustaining life for thousands of years along the Indo-Gangetic plains, the river's ecosystem is in grave danger of being damaged beyond repair. Locals say that the Ganges 'dies' in Kanpur, but many Indians still believe the God who once came from the sky, Ganga Mata Ji, ('Mother') still resides there.
