बच्चे का हुआ जन्म, पिता छोड़ गए, मां ने बनाया महान
5 /6 घटोत्कच्छकथा मिलती है कि महाभारत काल में जब वनवास काल में जब पांडवों का घर (लाक्षागृह) जला दिया गया तो विदुर के परामर्श पर वे वहां से भागकर एक दूसरे वन में गए। जहां पीली आंखों वाला हिडिंबसुर राक्षस राजा जो महादैत्य वन नामक वन के राक्षसों का राजा था, अपनी बहन हिंडिबा के साथ रहता था। एक दिन हिडिंब ने अपनी बहन हिंडिबा को वन में भोजन की तलाश करने के लिये भेजा। वहां हिंडिबा ने पांचों पांडवों सहित उनकी माता कुंती को देखा। भीम को देखते ही हिडिंबा उस पर मोहित हो गई इस कारण इसने उन सबको नहीं मारा यह बात हिडिंब को बहुत बुरी लगी। तब क्रोधित होकर हिडिंब ने पाण्डवों पर हमला किया, इस युद्ध में भीम ने उसे मार डाला जिसके बाद वहां जंगल में कुंती की सहमति से हिडिंबा एवं भीम का विवाह हुआ। हिडिंबा के हृदय में भीम के प्रति प्रबल प्रेम की भावना देख कर युधिष्ठिर बोले, “हिडिंबा! मैं तुम्हें अपने भाई को सौंपता हूं। लेकिन वह केवल दिन में तुम्हारे साथ रहा करेगा और रात्रि को हम लोगों के साथ रहेगा। हिडिंबा इसके लिये तैयार हो गई और भीमसेन के साथ आनंदपूर्वक जीवन व्यतीत करने लगी। समय पूर्ण होने के बाद भीम अपने भाइयों के साथ दूसरे वन चले गए। एक वर्ष व्यतीत होने पर हिडिंबा का पुत्र उत्पन्न हुआ। उत्पन्न होते समय उसके सिर पर केश (उत्कच) न होने के कारण उसका नाम घटोत्कच रखा गया। वह अत्यंत शक्तिशाली और मायावी था। वह जन्म लेते ही बड़ा हो गया था। हिडिंबा ने पालन-पोषण अकेले ही किया था।

While district administration didn’t allow people to take a holy dip in Ganga at sanctum sanctorum of Brahamkund Ganga ghat at Har-Ki-Pauri - where entry was prohibited, other Ganga ghats like Birla, Alaknanda, Kushawrat, Rishikul, Maharishi Kashyap, Swami Vivekanand, Gobind, Maharaja Agrasen, Prem Nagar ghat among others were visited by locals who took a dip in Ganga and performed Ganga Saptami related rituals.
