It's a shame that the temples flood during the rainy season, which makes it a little difficult to explore inside them at your leisure, but apart from that, I find their traditions fascinating.

It has thousands of temples, only some of them are next to the banks which get flooded frequently but most of the others are inwards. These people have become experts in navigating these minor inconveniences.
And if this river doesn't flood almost every year then it can't bring all the rich nutrients from the himalayas and make the plains this fertile. Part of the reason why Indian civilization thrived was because of this major river. So, we are always indebted to it, if you know what I mean.
