Nigamanand Saraswati or Swami Nigamananda (2 August 1976 – 13 June 2011), often referred to as Ganga Putra Nigamananda, was a Hindu monk,[1] who went on a hunger strike on 19 February 2011 to save the river Ganges from pollution caused by illegal mining in the river bed.[2] He was born in Ladari, Darbhanga and died on 13 June, the 115th day of his fast.[3]
The movement against mining in the river Ganges started in December 1997, and Nigamanand was a central figure of this movement.[4]
