Vanessa Cruez Instagram – Devprayag is the place where the holy rivers Bhagirathi and Alaknanda meet, merge into one and take the name Ganga, making it a unique pilgrimage. It is believed that Lord Rama and his father King Dasharath from the epic Ramayana performed penance here.
Devprayag is one of the Panch Prayag for five sacred confluences of the Alaknanda river. The rivers converge to flow down to the plains as River Ganga.
The five holy sites are Vishnuprayag, Nandaprayag, Karnaprayag, Rudraprayag and Devprayag. The town is also the winter seat for the priests of Badrinath Dham temple. Located on the route for Chardham yatra, Devprayag attracts thousands of devotees, especially during the yatra season. | Posted on 18/Sep/2024 08:06:48
