It has become a tradition and people are following it for ages. Every time, one crosses a bridge over a holy river, he or she throws a coin in it. And if you ask them the reason behind this tradition, more than ninety-five percent of the people will reply it brings wealth and prosperity.   In Hinduism, Rivers and water sources are equivalent to Gods and Goddesses. Hence, people worship nature, trees, mountains, rivers, lakes, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People also believe that by offering the coin to Holy rivers like Ganges, Yamuna, or Narmada, one gets abundant blessings. In addition, throwing coins into the holy rivers is also symbolic of bringing one good luck and fortune. Hence, people(mostly Hindus) join their hands, bow their heads, touch the coin to their forehead and throw it into the holy rivers to invite good luck and charm to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> Moreover, by dropping the coins in the river washes out one\u2019s sins is also a belief of the people. And blesses one with a regret-free life. Another belief that is associated with it is that leaving something valuable in the rivers can make one\u2019s dreams turn into reality. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Scientific_Aspect_behind_throwing_coins\"><\/span>Scientific Aspect behind throwing coins<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Emerged around a thousand years ago, the ritual of throwing coins into the holy river has scientific aspects too. Unlike today, most of the currency was of <a href=\"https:\/\/en.m.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Copper\">copper<\/a> or other valuable metals in ancient times. Copper is vital for the human body. It helps in metabolism and our body cannot synthesize copper. Hence, it was important to get the supply for absorption from outside. Copper is a crucial nutrient for the body. It helps in maintaining healthy bones, nerves, blood vessels, and immune function. Along with iron, it enables the formation of red blood cells. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, placing copper coins underneath the water helped in killing harmful bacteria and thus taking care of human health. In the earlier days, there were no water purifiers. Therefore, rivers and tanks were the mere sources of drinking water. Hence, throwing coins into the river was a way of ensuring that our body gets sufficient copper on day to day basis. Not does it importance stop here, the copper also helped in settling the dust particles at the bottom. This made the drinking water available at the top and it could be easily used for daily purposes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the currency today is made of steel and paper, unlike the earlier days. They have no major benefit for the human body. But still, considered as a tradition, throwing coins in the river is still practiced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\">Also, you may like to read <a href=\"https:\/\/astrotalk.com\/astrology-blog\/painting-of-seven-horses-significance-and-benefits\/\">Painting of Seven Horses: Significance and Benefits <\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div><p id=\"pvc_stats_101521\" class=\"pvc_stats total_only  \" data-element-id=\"101521\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"far\" data-icon=\"chart-bar\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chart-bar fa-w-16 fa-2x\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M396.8 352h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V108.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v230.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm-192 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V140.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v198.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm96 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V204.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v134.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zM496 400H48V80c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16H16C7.16 64 0 71.16 0 80v336c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h464c8.84 0 16-7.16 16-16v-16c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16zm-387.2-48h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8v-70.4c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v70.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg><\/i> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Loading\" src=\"https:\/\/astrotalk.com\/astrology-blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/page-views-count\/ajax-loader-2x.gif\" border=0 \/><\/p><div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The ancient Indian culture is full of various rituals and traditions.
