Ganges Avenue is a major road in Singapore. It connects Alexandra Road, at the intersection with Delta Road and Lower Delta Road, in the west; with Havelock Road, at the intersection with Zion Road, in the east. In between, Ganges Road also branches off to Indus Road and Havelock Link. Ganges Avenue was, of course, named after the Ganges River. It was originally called Ganges Road, but was later renamed Ganges Avenue.
Ganges Avenue is of course named after the Ganges River, the river sacred to Hindus that flows through Varanasi. The road got the name Ganges Road in 1952, and later on, it was renamed Ganges Avenue.

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
