“The Ganga to me is the symbol of India’s memorable past which has been flowing into the present and continues to flow towards the ocean of the future.”

Hi, I’m Ambika. The name Ganges Gal for my brand began as an ode to my namesake, Maa, who taught me to never forget where I come from, and to never let the obstacles in my life have a voice in defining me. She was a true Ganges Gal, a source of wisdom, a powerhouse of strength, and a force against the current–and I often find myself struggling to fill in the shoes she left behind. I hope with this project, I’ll at the very least have taken my first steps into becoming the woman she would’ve wanted me to be.
