Assuming your culture's way of doing things is the best is called Ethnocentrism

Ethnocentrism in social science and anthropology—as well as in colloquial English discourse means to apply one's own culture or ethnicity as a frame of reference to judge other cultures, practices, behaviors, beliefs, and people, instead of using the standards of the particular culture involved. Since this judgment is often negative, some people also use the term to refer to the belief that one's culture is superior to, or more correct or normal than, all others especially regarding the distinctions that define each ethnicity's cultural identity, such as language, behavior, customs, and religion. In common usage, it can also simply mean any culturally biased judgment. For example, ethnocentrism can be seen in the common portrayals of the Global South and the Global North.

Ethnocentrism is sometimes related to racism, stereotyping, discrimination, or xenophobia. However, the term "ethnocentrism" does not necessarily involve a negative view of the others' race or indicate a negative connotation.[3] The opposite of ethnocentrism is cultural relativism, which means to understand a different culture in its own terms without subjective judgments.

Why are the origins of the Ganges River described as "holy"?
Eddi Din [679]
The River Ganges is also known as the River Ganga which serves as the holiest river in any religion. It’s deemed to be a “holy river” because it is considered as an important deity in the practice of Hinduism. It is respectfully referred to as “Ganga Maiya” (Mother Ganga) by its worshippers.
<span>
Hindus believe the myths that surround the river and sanctify it as a goddess. They viewed the goddess Ganga as a beautiful woman wearing a white crown with a water lily and water pot in her hands, and saw her as riding on her pet crocodile. Hindus generally believed that all prayers offered to the river would multiply because of the holiness of the “Ganga Maiya.”  </span>
