Serendib derived from Serendip is an Old Persian name for Sri Lanka. It is also the etymological root of the word serendipity.
The saying "Sare tirath baar baar, Gangasagar ek baar," which translates to "All the pilgrimages again and again, Gangasagar once," highlights the significance of the Gangasagar pilgrimage in Hinduism.
Gangasagar Mela attracts millions of pilgrims from across India, making it the world's second-largest human gathering after the Kumbh Mela. Located about 100 km south of Kolkata, this 224.3 km² island lies where the holy river Ganga meets the Bay of Bengal. Pilgrims come here to take a sacred dip in the confluence, and the spiritual devotion is deeply felt throughout the festival.
