When his horse was about to win the entire earth, Indra - the King of Heaven became alarmed. He stole the blessed horse and tied it near Kapil Muni's Ashram. Out of anger, Kapil Muni cursed them to turn into ashes. It is said that then Bhagirathi, the only grandson of King Sagar, mediated over years to persuade River Ganga to step down from heaven and wash the mortal remains of his ancestors and bless them with salvation. The temple today marks the presence of Kapil Muni's Ashram.
The fair becomes highly crowded on the Makar Sankranti day. It is assumed to be the largest annual gathering of devotees in India. Gangasagar offers acres of silver sand and clear blue skies, and the calm sea for visitors who would like to spend their weekend relaxing. Also known as Sagardwip, Gangasagar is still quite unexplored and therefore unexploited. The island of Gangasagar is one of the most famous Hindu pilgrimage centres in India.
