 According to Hindu Mythology, River Ganga is considered to be flowing from Shiva’s locks and normally it flows from north to south across its entire course but near the city of Zamania, it flows from south to north.It is believed that the river Ganga wanted to pay respect by touching the feet of the Shiva located at the Kashi Vishwanatha Temple and had to change its course.This is the reason Zamania is given more spiritual superiority over other cities like Varanasi.It is divided into two main towns, Zamania Tehsil and Zamania Railway station.Zamania Tahasil is also known as "Zamania Quasba".
