The present study was carried out to assess the impact of mass bathing on water quality of Ganga River during the festival Mahalaya, 2016. For Hindus, the festival Mahalaya was considered to honour the soul of departed ancestors by taking a dip in Holy River. An examination of river water from river Hooghly, West Bengal, India was carried out at Mahalaya Festival to estimate the impact of mass bathing during new moon day (called as Amavasya in India) in terms of the Water Quality Index (WQI). WQI provides a single number that helps to express overall water quality based on water quality parameters. The sampling was done from the three selected popular ghats in Howrah and North 24 Parganas District, West Bengal during the event of mass bathing, pre-mass bathing and post-mass bathing. The value of WQI was found in between 56.87-78.24 for each case in all three ghats. WQI value showed very poor water quality in the most popular Dakhinewswar ghat during mass bathing.
