BHAGIRATHI was a super Civil engineer who made it possible to bring the Ganga to Plane lands from trapped mountain hills. He did a tremendous civil engineering job of making passage for the Ganga by cutting the mountains trap. The vast boulders which were cut through the hill tops are still present at the Gangotri and downstream passage of Ganga.
In our ancient scriptures this mega job is described as Tapa of Bhagirathi, which indeed was his Tapa, and the mountain traps were symbolized as Jata of Shiva.
