Cevap

Devprayag is the confluence of the Alaknanda and Bhagirathi rivers where the main stem is officially named the Ganga.
Devprayag is the site of the confluence of the Alaknanda and Bhagirathi rivers. Beyond this point, the merged river is officially known as the Ganga.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the headwaters of the River Ganga
The Ganga is formed by the union of two major rivers: the Bhagirathi (originating from Gaumukh at Gangotri Glacier) and the Alaknanda (originating from Satopanth Glacier).
Tracing the primary headwater streams is essential to pinpointing the origin of the Ganga.
2
Map the specific confluence along the Panch Prayag network
The final confluence in the downstream order of Panch Prayag is Devprayag, where the Alaknanda joins the Bhagirathi.
Downstream from Devprayag, the river drops its parent branch names and flows onward as the Ganga.
