पञ्च प्रयाग
पवित्र गङ्गा निर्माण गर्ने गढवालका पाँच पवित्र सङ्गमहरू
हिमालयको हिमशिखरबाट प्रवाहित अलकनन्दा पाँच पवित्र सहायक नदीहरूसँग मिलेर विष्णुप्रयाग, नन्दप्रयाग, कर्णप्रयाग, रुद्रप्रयाग र देवप्रयाग निर्माण गर्दै अन्ततः माँ गङ्गाको स्वरूप धारण गर्दछिन्। यी पञ्च प्रयागमा पवित्र स्नान र तर्पण गर्नाले मोक्ष प्राप्त हुन्छ।

Devprayag is where the Alaknanda and Bhagirathi meet and the united river is called Ganga.
The confluence at Vishnuprayag is flanked by two great mountains traditionally named Jai and Vijay, after the gatekeepers of Vaikuntha.
Devprayag is home to the ancient Raghunath temple, and the town is counted among the 108 Divya Desams praised by the Alvar saints.
At Rudraprayag, a rock known as Narad Shila is remembered as the place where Sage Narada meditated.
At Devprayag the two rivers often appear in different hues as they meet: the Bhagirathi is clear green, and the Alaknanda is a deeper grey-blue.
