 Confluence of Alaknanda (bottom, from right) and Mandakini River (flowing from top - North) at Rudraprayag. Before 17 June 2013, there was a footbridge (jhula) over the Mandakini; this was washed away in the 2013 Uttarakhand floods. The stones at the bottom of the stairs were not there; instead, there was a viewing platform, and a large rock called Narad Shila. | |
