Ganga Mayi Ki Betiyan, the spiritual serenity of the ghats is replaced by a fierce battle for justice as Ganga takes a stand against the local powerhouse attempting to pollute the sacred river.
The Factory Confrontation
The episode opens with Ganga and a group of local women protesting outside the gates of the “Shakti Chemicals” factory. They have evidence that the factory is dumping untreated waste into the river at night. Aditya, the idealistic young lawyer, joins them with legal documents, but the factory security—under orders from Harshvardhan—tries to intimidate the group.
The Missing Witness
Ganga’s main witness, Chhotu, a young boy who took photos of the chemical dumping, goes missing. A frantic search ensues through the narrow lanes of Varanasi. Ganga suspects that Harshvardhan’s men have kidnapped him. Her faith is tested, but she prays at the temple, vowing not to leave the riverbank until the boy is found safe.
A Moment of Devotion
Despite the tension, the episode features a beautifully shot “Ganga Aarti” sequence. During the prayers, a mysterious elderly woman approaches Ganga and hands her a small, waterproof pouch. Inside, Ganga finds the camera Chhotu was carrying—he had hidden it in the riverbed before being taken. This provides the “smoking gun” evidence needed to shut down the factory.
The Climax: The Rescue Mission
The episode ends with Ganga and Aditya tracking Chhotu to an old godown near the outskirts of the city. As they break in, they find Harshvardhan himself present, prepared to burn the evidence. The final shot is of Ganga stepping into the fire to save the child, with the flames reflecting in her eyes, symbolizing her namesake river’s power to both sustain and destroy.

Precap for Tuesday:
Ganga successfully rescues Chhotu, but the factory remains open due to a “stay order” from a corrupt official. To counter this, Ganga decides to start a “Satyagraha” (peaceful sit-in) in the middle of the river on a fleet of boats, refusing to move until the waste pipes are sealed.
