Cultural Insights

The Aarti Ritual

The evening ceremony involves chanting, incense, and floating lamps. It's not just a show—it's a deeply spiritual experience where you can offer your own prayers.

Local Customs

Women typically wear traditional clothing to ghats. Photography during Aarti is restricted in some areas to maintain sanctity.

Devprayag - River Confluence
Part I

Devprayag

Birthplace of Ganga

Where the Alaknanda and Bhagirathi rivers merge to become Mother Ganga herself—a geographical and spiritual miracle...

Day Trip
18-25°C

The Sacred Confluence

Devprayag is where geography meets mythology. The milky-white Alaknanda meets the emerald-green Bhagirathi, and from this union, the Ganga is born. The distinct colors of the two rivers remain visible for some distance before merging completely.

Alaknanda River

Originates from Satopanth Glacier

Milky white from glacial silt
Bhagirathi River

Originates from Gangotri Glacier

Emerald green from minerals

Our Experience Here

  • Guided meditation at the exact confluence point
  • Visit to the ancient Raghunathji Temple
  • Storytelling session about the legend of Bhagirath
  • Silent observation of the merging rivers

The Legend

According to Hindu mythology, King Bhagirath performed intense penance to bring the celestial Ganga to Earth to purify the souls of his ancestors. After pleasing Lord Shiva, Ganga descended to Earth and split into many streams at Devprayag.
