Explanation

In Hindu mythology, the Narmada River is believed to have originated from Lord Shiva's body during a penance performed by the river goddess. The legend states that Narmada was so devoted in her prayers that Shiva granted her the blessing to flow eternally. The Ganga descended from heaven through Bhagiratha's penance, while Indus (Shindu - typo) has different origins.
