Re: Ma Ganga
Ganga is just a holy river - she is neither Parvathi's amsha or Parvathi's sister. I have heard Ganga, being a river, is the wife of the King of Oceans - according to Mahabharata, she is wedded to Shantanu whose previous avatara is 'Mahabhishak'. Due to a curse, Mahabhishak falls from the heavens and takes birth on earth as King Shantanu and marries Ganga. It is unclear if, after the end of the life as Shantanu, Mahabhishak is united in heavens with Ganga as husband/wife.
