Vashishta Gufa, also known as Vashistha Cave, is a sacred and ancient cave located about 25 km from Rishikesh, India, on the banks of the holy River Ganges along the Rishikesh-Badrinath road.

Raghunath Jew Temple
  • 30m
  • Admission ticket not included
The Raghunath Temple in Devprayag, India, is an ancient and revered Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Rama, an avatar of Vishnu worshipped here as Raghunathji. Situated at the sacred confluence of the Alaknanda and Bhagirathi rivers, which form the Ganges, the temple holds immense religious importance. Historically, it was established or rebuilt by the philosopher Adi Shankaracharya in the 8th century and later expanded by the Garhwal kings. The temple is constructed in the traditional Deula architectural style and houses a granite image of Lord Rama. It also includes smaller shrines dedicated to other deities like Badrinath, Adi Shankara, Shiva, Sita, and Hanuman.
Devprayag
  • 2h
Devprayag Sangam in Devprayag, India, is a profoundly sacred site where the two holy rivers, Bhagirathi and Alaknanda, merge to form the Ganges, one of the most revered rivers in Hinduism. The confluence is considered the official starting point of the Ganga and holds immense religious and mythological significance. According to Hindu mythology, King Bhagirath performed intense penance to bring the heavenly Ganges to Earth to purify the ashes of his ancestors. The Bhagirathi River is regarded as the celestial descent of the Ganga, while the Alaknanda, originating near Badrinath, symbolises devotion and penance. Their merging at Devprayag symbolises the union of the divine and earthly waters, creating a holy river essential for purification and spiritual redemption. The name "Devprayag" means "Godly Confluence," reflecting its sacred status.
