The main headstream of the Ganga is associated with which glacier?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Gangotri Glacier

The governing concept is the source of the principal headstream of the Ganga. The Bhagirathi is traditionally treated as the main headstream, and it emerges from the Gaumukh area associated with the Gangotri Glacier in Uttarakhand. At Devprayag, the Bhagirathi meets the Alaknanda; after this confluence, the combined river is called the Ganga. Hence option A is correct. Pindari Glacier is linked with a different Himalayan drainage system. Zemu Glacier is located in Sikkim and is not the accepted source of the Ganga’s main headstream. Bara Shigri Glacier lies in Himachal Pradesh and also has no direct source association with the Ganga. The question asks about the main headstream, so the Gangotri–Bhagirathi association is the decisive clue.
