  5. Mahalaya Tarpan This is very popular among the Bengalis as Mahalaya marks the beginning of Durga Puja. Devotees offer "Tarpan" on the banks of River Ganga in Kolkata. People visit the holy Ganges to pay homage to their forefathers and ancestors. The word Tarpan comes from the world trup which means satisfying or pleasing others. https://www.shaktipeethdigital.com/

Several other pujas, like the laghurudra puja although not directly a Ganga Puja have Gangaajal as an essential “puja samagri”.
