Why does Devprayag have a special place in the Ganga system?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It starts the name Ganga after Bhagirathi and Alaknanda meet

The direct answer is D: at Devprayag, the Bhagirathi and Alaknanda meet, and from this confluence the river is called the Ganga. To reason step by step, the Bhagirathi is traditionally regarded as beginning from the Gangotri-Gaumukh area, while the Alaknanda is another important Himalayan headstream. They flow separately until they meet at Devprayag. After their meeting, the combined river receives the name Ganga. Option D is correct. Option A is wrong because the Yamuna and Chambal do not meet at Devprayag; Chambal joins the Yamuna farther downstream. Option B is wrong because Devprayag is not the Brahmaputra delta. Option C is wrong because the Indus does not originate there. The place must also be distinguished from Prayagraj, where the Ganga, Yamuna, and traditionally Saraswati are associated with a different confluence. Memory cue: Devprayag means the important meeting of Bhagirathi and Alaknanda, after which the name Ganga begins.
