        It is famous in Indian Mythology that Raja Harishcandra was sold in Varanasi and serviced under Dom-raja at the bank of Ganga. This misapprehension coming from a long period and that may be 2000 years ago, but none of the scholar or a writer or a civilian took attention regarding it (in my notice). We know that Ganga came out on the earth by the strenuous effort of Bhagiratha and he was the 14th descendant of Raja Harischandra. The first literary evidence found in 10th century whenever a Dramatist, named Arya Kshemishwar presented Harishchandra on the bank of Ganga in his famous drama Chanda-Koushikam. From Kshemishwar to present time this misinterpretation is coming without any discussion against the fact.
