Where does the Yamuna meet the Ganga?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Prayagraj
The Yamuna joins the Ganga at Prayagraj. This confluence is known as the Triveni Sangam, traditionally associated with the Ganga, Yamuna and Saraswati. Devprayag is where the Bhagirathi and Alaknanda meet to form the Ganga, so it is not the Yamuna-Ganga confluence. Exam tip: remember Prayagraj for the Ganga-Yamuna confluence and Devprayag for the Bhagirathi-Alaknanda confluence.
