The Ganges river (Ganga in Indian languages) is the most important river of India, spanning a length of over 2500 km (1560 mi), as it flows down from the Himalayan mountains and flows through the Ganges valley plains. The river is formed by the merger of five major sub-rivers that flow down the Himalayan mountains, as well as hundreds of smaller streams and creeks. Each of the five major mergers or confluences is called a "prayag" (pronounced "pra-yaag").
Deva Prayag Devprayag is the final confluence, where the last two components of the Ganges, known as Alakananda and Bhagirathi, merge. In fact, it is only after Deva Prayag that the Ganges river becomes known as Ganges or Ganga. Therefore the town is a very important destination for pilgrims.
Deva Prayag is a fairly small town of about 2,000 inhabitants at an elevation of about 830m (2723 feet). It is 70 km away from Rishikesh on National Highway 58 towards Badrinath. A big part of the town is located on one hillside at the junction of two rivers, looking like a house at the intersection of two streets.
This entire area is spectacularly beautiful, so I took several shots, and I have listed them here in no particular order.

The ruins of the castle in Deva, Romania, where the founder of Unitarianism in Transylvania, Francis Dávid (Dávid Ferenc), was imprisoned and died in 1579. A monument commemorates Dávid in the ruins, and Unitarians make pilgrimages to the site. (Learn more about Francis Dávid.)
