After visiting Gangotri and Uttarkashi we visited Devaprayag on our return trip. A prayag is a confluence of two rivers and Devaprayag is one of the five important prayags (confluences) on Himalays. Devprayag is about 70 kms from Rishikesh and located about 800 meters above sea level. It is the confluence of river Alakananda and Bhagirathi whih forms river Ganga thereafter.
We stayed in Kedar Badri Samiti rest house which was on the banks of the river. We were able to see the river, the bathing ghat, the mountains, Raghunath temple and Devprayag Township from our room. We stayed in Devaprayag for two days. It was interesting to mark the color differences of the two rivers. Bhagirathi was looking greenish while Alakananda was looking gray. However the current of Alakananda was much stronger than Bhagirathi. As it was rainy season the river was full of water.
