Panch Prayag

Panch Prayag (Pañcha prayāga) is an expression in Hindu religious ethos, specifically used to connote the five sacred river confluences in the Garhwal Himalayas in the state of Uttarakhand, India. The five prayags - prayaga meaning "place of confluence of rivers" in Sanskrit - also termed as "Prayag pentad" are Vishnuprayag, Nandaprayag, Karnaprayag, Rudraprayag and Devprayag, in the descending flow sequence of their occurrence.

Alaknanda + Dhauliganga = Vishnu Prayag Alaknanda + Nandakini = Nand Prayag Alaknanda + Pindarganga = Karna Prayag Alaknanda + Mandakini = Rudra Prayag Alaknanda + Bhagirathi = Dev Prayag
