Devprayag, Sacred confluence town in Uttarakhand, India

Located at 813 meters elevation, Devprayag marks the exact point where the Alaknanda and Bhagirathi rivers merge to form the Ganges River.

The town suffered extensive damage during the 1803 earthquake but underwent complete reconstruction, preserving its religious and architectural heritage for future generations.

The Raghunath Temple, constructed in the 18th century using massive stone blocks and topped with a white dome, stands as the central religious structure.

Visitors can reach Devprayag through National Highway NH58, with regular bus services operating from Rishikesh, the nearest railway station, located 70 kilometers away.

The waters at the confluence display two distinct colors, with the Alaknanda appearing green and the Bhagirathi showing clear properties before mixing into the Ganges.
