the Word "Gangca" which is a river, can be applied to the peak of a mountain, some may ask? That is because the origin of the river Ganges is given as falling from heaven in a straight flow and the said peak of the Hima- layan gives that appearance of a steep descent, and when the rays of the sun fall on it. the peak gives appearance of golden colour. It i therefore called "Kanchenganga," "Golden, Ganges," as distinguished from the white-coloured waters of the, river, Ganges.
