Ganga ,the daughter of Himavan was show big, while parvati has not birth, I know that Ganga was elder sister , but so much elder???????/

Ganga was never wife of Shivji, nor Vishnuji. First she stays at himavan house, then she went to Swarglok to help the devtas, the she went to Viekunth and stays in Vishu's Charan. After she went to Brahmas kamandal, then she went to Shiv jata. She never knew that she will stay on Shiv jata, as she was never ready to stay on earth.

and what they shown she is sitting with Shiv and all that????????

Ganga just stays in Shiv jata's but she never-ever touch Shiv. Only her water can touch.

Ganga is sometimes described as a consort of Shiva (the Brahma Vaivarta Puran is one such example). And there is no consensus of the age difference anywhere. She might as well have been many years older than Parvati. Besides this show likes to tweak the timeline every now and then.

Ganga was alot older than Parvati and they also have a brother Menaka. Parvati was born after Himavan did tapasya for adishakti and she agreed to be born as his daughter.

You have to remember these are divine beings they do not age!

Yeah the numbers ultimately don't matter. They are not going to age. You won't see Ganga with grey hair when Parvati grows up. 😆

Even Kartikeya is considered the son of Shiva and Ganga not Parvati because his seed flowed in the Gangas river and formed the child Kartikeya.

No, Kartikey was not son of Shiv and Ganga, Ganga is called his foster mother. The seed of the Shiv and Parvati came to Agni dev and Agni dev could not bear that tej so he gave it to Ganga, Ganga was there (not on shiv jata) . She cool down and it grown in 6 children.

Ok , If You are right, then answer my one Question?

Ganga is a very Powerfull Devi, Even more powerful then other devtas. According to puranas, She is so powerful that Indra approached her to come and stay in devlok and fight there enemies(Tarakasur goons). If this is correct how can she be shown so older?

Ganga and Parvati have passed there childhood together and she used to took care of Paravati since her childhood. Only that's why her Shakti came to known by devtas.

But she had married Shantanu, and had sons from him. (Gangaputra Bhishm in Mahabharata)

She is called Vishnupriya, Shivpriya as she is dear to both. (But not in that sense)

Shivji ek patnivratdhari hai, unhone Parvati se hi itni muskil se vivah kiya, fhir Ganga to dur ki baat hai.

I think that Mena has got the boon, when she saw Sati and wanted her daughter to be just like her.
