At which place do the ‘Bhagirathi’ and ‘Alaknanda’ rivers meet (confluence)?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Devaprayag.
Devprayag is the sacred confluence point where the Bhagirathi River, originating from the Gangotri Glacier, meets the Alaknanda River, coming from the Satopanth Glacier.
This confluence is significant in Hindu mythology and marks the beginning of the river Ganga as it flows downstream into various regions of India. Devprayag is considered one of the holiest of the Panch Prayag (five confluences) in Uttarakhand.
