Which glacier is most closely associated with the source of the Bhagirathi River?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Gangotri Glacier

The governing concept is the geographical source of a major Himalayan river. The Bhagirathi is traditionally considered to begin at Gaumukh, the terminus area of the Gangotri Glacier in Uttarakhand; therefore option B is correct. It is important to distinguish this from the Alaknanda, whose upper source is associated with the Satopanth region. Siachen Glacier is in the Karakoram and is not the source of the Bhagirathi. Zemu is associated with the eastern Himalaya near Kanchenjunga, while Milam is in the Kumaon Himalaya. The question asks for the glacier linked with the river’s source, not the later meeting point where the Ganga is formed.
