A feasibility report has been sought from the Dehradun district administration for setting up a Ganga museum at the Triveni Ghat in Rishikesh.

Rishikesh: A feasibility report has been sought from the Dehradun district administration for setting up a Ganga museum at the Triveni Ghat here under the Namami Gange programme.

In a letter to Dehradun District Magistrate Ashish Shrivastava, Namami Gange programme Director Udai Raj said a feasibility report on the availability of space, the religious importance of location, expected footfall and mechanism for maintenance on a sustainable basis should be submitted to the State Programme Management Group (SPMG).

A joint visit can also be made by district and SPMG officials to the Triveni Ghat to assess the feasibility of setting up a Ganga museum or Ganga Avolkan Kendra there, it said.

The move follows Rishikesh Mayor Anita Mamgai's letter to the Namami Gange Mission director urging him to establish a Ganga museum at Triveni ghat in view of its mythological and religious significance.
