At which place do Bhagirathi and Alaknanda join to be called the Ganga?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Devprayag

Bhagirathi and Alaknanda are two important headstreams of the Ganga system in the Himalayan region. They meet at Devprayag in Uttarakhand. From their confluence onward, the combined river is known as the Ganga. This is why Devprayag has an important place in the geographical description of the river, even though the wider Ganga basin has many other tributaries and reaches.

The correct choice is C, Devprayag. Haridwar, Prayagraj, and Varanasi are important places along the Ganga, but the naming point asked in this question is Devprayag. Prayagraj is known for the confluence of the Ganga, Yamuna, and the traditionally recognised Saraswati, not for the joining of Bhagirathi and Alaknanda. Remember the sequence: Bhagirathi and Alaknanda meet at Devprayag, and the united stream is called the Ganga.
