Alakananda and Bhagirathi unite at Devprayag to form the Ganges.
The river Ganga is the confluence of several rivers. The river is known as Bhagirathi in its origin at Gomukh near the Gangotri glacier. The Alakananda river originates in Badrinath, and the river Bhagirathi joins it at Devprayag. The river is termed Ganga from the Devprayag confluence. River Mandakini originating in Kedarnath, joins Alaknanda at Rudraprayag. The river Pindar Ganga and Alaknanda confluence at Karnaprayag. Nandprayag is the meeting point of river Mandakini with Alaknanda. Dhauli Ganga is the first river to join Alaknanda at Vishnuprayag. The Alaknanda river and the confluence of all these rivers lead to the formation of the river Ganga.
