The Ganga Dussehra festival is dedicated to Goddess Ganga, and it is believed the river Ganga descended from heaven to earth on this day. It is considered auspicious to take a holy dip in the Ganges River or any other water body, as it is believed to wash away sins and purify the soul.

On this day, devotees gather near the banks of rivers, especially the Ganges, to offer prayers and perform rituals. They take a dip in the river, offer flowers, incense, and lamps to Goddess Ganga, and seek her blessings. Many people also observe fasts and recite prayers dedicated to the river.

In her beautifully shot YouTube Vlog, Larissa can be seen exploring the streets of Rishikesh, capturing wholesome moments with the locals, and indulging in the traditions and rituals of the religious site. She describes the place as high on energy yet thought-provoking, somewhere you can just be with your beliefs and get a more evolved perspective on life.

Larissa D'sa is a popular creator who shares travel and lifestyle content on YouTube and Instagram. She has a large following of 1.3 million people. However, her journey to success was not without challenges. When she was 19 years old, she had to leave a Pantaloon Fresh Face contest because other participants, including the winner Disha Patani who is now an actress, surpassed her. This defeat made Larissa realize her true passion: art. She used her creative skills to start an online store where she sold personalized products. Later, she began posting do-it-yourself craft videos on YouTube. In 2016, when she lost her job due to downsizing at a startup, Larissa decided to become a full-time creator.
