When Ganga takes birth in the feet of Lord Vishnu

When Ganga takes birth in the feet of Lord Vishnu, then why is Lord Shiva held in his hair lock? Is it an insult for Shiva? Hare Krishna! I will give you the best answer. Lord Shiva keeps Ganga in his matted hair means that he is keeping Sri Vishnu’s feet on him. So Lord Shiva is Sri Vishnu’s devotee that’s why he does like that and not because it is an insult. Ok some people are saying it is fake. Well here is the proof that Ganga originated from Sri Vishnu’s feet only. Śukadeva Gosvāmī said: My dear King, Lord Viṣṇu, the enjoyer of all sacrifices, appeared as Vāmanadeva in the sacrificial arena of Bali Mahārāja. Then He extended His left foot to the end of the universe and pierced a hole in its covering with the nail of His big toe. Through the hole, the pure water of the Causal Ocean entered this universe as the Ganges River. Having washed the lotus feet of the Lord, which are covered with reddish powder, the water of the Ganges acquired a very beautiful pink color. Every living being can immediately purify his mind of material contamination by touching the transcendental water of the Ganges, yet its waters remain ever pure. Because the Ganges directly touches the lotus feet of the Lord before descending within this universe, she is known as Viṣṇupadī. Later she received other names like Jāhnavī and Bhāgīrathī. After one thousand millenniums, the water of the Ganges descended to Dhruvaloka, the topmost planet in this universe. Therefore all learned sages and scholars proclaim Dhruvaloka to be Viṣṇupada [“situated on Lord Viṣṇu’s lotus feet”]. -ŚB 5.17.1 Pls don’t say that Srimad Bhagavtham is fake when it is even mentioned as destroyer of miseries in Padma Purana!!!!! Thanks Om Namo Narayanaya!
