Here an attempt has been made to assess the pollution by physico-chemical analysis and concentration level of some trace metals in water of river Ganga at Vindhyachal ghat during Navratri Pooja. The study evaluates physico-chemical properties of water of the river covering sampling during September to November 2005 and March to May 2006. The result indicates that the river Ganga at Vindhyachal ghat is in a serious grip of water pollution during Navratri Pooja due to huge gathering of population. The few toxic metals namely Fe, Cu, Ni, Cr, Zn & Cd were collected and studied at sites. This site was polluted and the water is not suitable for domesicism, irrigation and other purpose, making it essential to device suitable strategies, so as to protect the river from the on slaught pollution. Water is said to be polluted when it has changes in its quality and its chemical composition, Trivedi (1998).
