Namaste,
I would like to perform puja to Ganga Maiya. Does anyone know the correct way of doing it, and what mantras should be chanted?
I am grateful for your help.

Pranam,
Devi
I am also curious about this.
Why Ganga Devi receives so little worship when even a single drop of Her earthly form grants Moksha?
Pranam
I see there is no response for you inquiry, it is not because there are no devotees of maa Ganga, I think because she is a pratyaksa Devi therefore most Hindu would like to go to pilgrimage to the holy tirth and have a dip in her waters once in a life time, what could be more tribute to her then this?
In the absence of opportunity to go there people somehow manage to get her waters in a small sealed pot which could be kept in shrine and use the water for puja.
Most people invoke the holy rivers while having a bath.
Here are some stutis that may help
