Does visiting the Ganges make a person a better Sanatani?

(Northumberland Agreed Syllabus - Unit L2.11 How and why do people mark the significant events of life?)

Why is the River Ganges special to  Sanatanis?It is considered to be sacred and spiritually pure by believers although in reality it is not a clean river. Because of the purifying nature of the river, Sanatanis believe that any rituals performed on the banks of the Ganges or in its water will wash away impurity
