Devprayag Yatra in Himalayas

  Devprayag Yatra Himalayas The holy timeless village of Devprayag is in Himalayas in Tehri Garhwal district of Uttarakhand state. It is situated on the road that leads towards Badrinath Dhama. At Devprayag is a unique confluence (sangam) of two celestial rivers Alaknanda and Bhagirathi Rivers that both form the mainstream flow of the Ganges River. One can distinctly see this amazing phenomenon as the slightly dull colour Alaknanda river coming from behind the Giddhanchal mountain meets the crystal clear waters of Bhagirathi river. Devprayag is surrounded by three mountain ranges – Giddha Anchal Parvat (representing Garuda), Dasaratha Anchal Parvat (representing Maharaja Dasharatha; father of Lord Rama) and Nrsimha Anchal Parvat (representing Lord Nrsimhadeva). In Treta-yuga , Lord Ramacandra and Laxmana performed a yajna here to atone for killing Ravana, who was also a Brahmin by birth. This is marked by ancient Sri Raghunath Ji Temple here with a 15-foot tall deity of Lord Ram...
