The polluted Ganges River in Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, India, is photographed at dawn from its banks, bordering the large tannery area of Jajmao. 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') is still there.
