The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Mandakini.

  • Mandakini river has its source in the Sumeru glacier above the Kedarnath temple.
  • The Mandakini River, located in Uttarakhand, India, is a significant tributary of the Alaknanda River. Originating from the Chorabari Glacier, it flows approximately 81 kilometers through regions including Rudraprayag and Sonprayag.
  • Along its course, the Mandakini meets the Songanga River at Sonprayag and passes by the revered Madhyamaheshwar Temple in Ukhimath. Eventually, it joins the Alaknanda River, which later merges with the Ganges.
