The Ganga — a magical amalgamation of the restless waters of the Bhagirathi and the calm Alaknanda — begins its journey at Devprayag (literally, godly/heavenly confluence). In our journey with바카라 웹사이트Rag Rag Mein Ganga, we pause in admiration at the sparkling turquoise blue colour of the Ganga — an ethereal sight that is sure to make you believe that you are in communion with the heavens above. It라이브 바카라 perhaps also fitting that Devprayag itself is nestled in the midst of three holy peaks — Giddhanchal Parvat, Dashrathanchal Parvat and Narsinghanchal Parvat.
Historically, Devprayag has been home to the priests of Badrinath called바카라 웹사이트pandas바카라 웹사이트ever since the time of Aadi Shankaracharya. The바카라 웹사이트sangam바카라 웹사이트between바카라 웹사이트pandas바카라 웹사이트and inquisitive visitors (yatris) is a special one — not only are the바카라 웹사이트pandas바카라 웹사이트excellent hosts who provide accommodation and lodging for the바카라 웹사이트yatris, they also keep generational records of those who come to them, for identification purposes. Records that span thousands of years.
At the centre of such a vibrant, religious, mythological environment in Devprayag is the Ganga, which not only bears the weight of the lives and livelihoods of the people but also sustains their faith and beliefs. As actor Rajeev Khandelwal finds out in his visit to the city, if there are two words that describe the Ganga here, they are바카라 웹사이트aviral바카라 웹사이트(continuous) and바카라 웹사이트nirmal바카라 웹사이트(pure).
But however divine the Ganga may be, it cannot do it all alone. Namami Gange, a flagship programme, was initiated by the Government of India in 2014 for this very purpose: to help preserve the Ganga and its life-sustaining properties. In Devprayag, the programme라이브 바카라 greatest achievement has been raising awareness and strengthening the people-water connect Schools in the region conduct interactive sessions, teaching young students on the importance of river conservation, while murals and cartoon illustrations in the city continue to highlight the severity of the issue.
Under the Namami Gange program, the first multistorey바카라 웹사이트750 MLD Sewage바카라 웹사이트Treatment Plant (STP) has been바카라 웹사이트constructed at Chandrashekhar바카라 웹사이트Nagar in Rishikesh. The STP바카라 웹사이트receives sewage from three바카라 웹사이트drains — Chandrashekhar drain,바카라 웹사이트Shamshaan Ghat drain and바카라 웹사이트Dhaal drain and is a model for바카라 웹사이트replication in other cities which바카라 웹사이트face the same area constraints.
In Devprayag, sample some of the local delicacies; the villages abound in malta trees, a citrus fruit that makes for a very refreshing drink, and offer other homegrown delicacies such as the바카라 웹사이트lingra바카라 웹사이트pickle. Singori — a cone-shaped sweet made of바카라 웹사이트khoya, wrapped in Maalu leaves — is another must-have from a 150-year-old local sweet shop. 바카라 웹사이트
At a distance of 74 kms from Devprayag is Rishikesh, known as the land of saints and sages. A suspension bridge, Lakshman Jhula, named in the honour of Lord Lakshman who is believed to have crossed the river on ropes of jute, connects Tehri Garhwal to Pauri Garhwal District. Close to the bridge is a temple dedicated to Lord Lakshman, who according to legend, meditated here after the war against Ravana.바카라 웹사이트
In many of the cities it passes through, Ganga is synonymous with바카라 웹사이트ghats바카라 웹사이트— it is no different in Devprayag. Recently, a rather picturesque bathing바카라 웹사이트ghat바카라 웹사이트has been built near the Sri Koteshwar Mahadev Mandir under the Namami Gange programme, at the junction of the Alaknanda and the Bhagirathi. It is a lovely, isolated spot where you can enjoy a bit of solitude watching and listening to the ripple of the water on ancient stones. In the evening, you can participate in offering바카라 웹사이트aarti바카라 웹사이트as you quietly muse on the river라이브 바카라 immortality and the changing lives of people over the centuries.
Ganga-blessed Devprayag lies at the heart of several바카라 웹사이트sangams바카라 웹사이트— of rivers, of the old and the new, of visitors and residents — that have both evolved and stayed constant. But if there is anything truly바카라 웹사이트sanatan바카라 웹사이트(eternal) about this place, it is the fact that it represents the best and the most progressive strands of a centuries-old religion, Hinduism. And to preserve this, its undying symbol, the Ganga, must be protected.
