Deoprayag is at a distance of 71 km from
Rishikesh. The Bhagirathi from Gaumukh mingles with
the river Alaknanda from Satopanth
to form the sacred Ganga. Pilgrims bath in the Sangam and offer 'Pind'
Shradha. At an
altitude of 618 Mts. (2000 ft.) here are ancient temples of Raghunathji and Lord Shiva
which are both landmarks as well as the Raghunath Kirti Mahavidyalaya, the headquarters of
the pandas of the Badrinath.
The pandas of Sri
Badrinath hail from this town. Most of the pandas are pandits who are scholarly and their knowledge
of Sanskrit is a family inheritance. It is also linked with 30-km motorable road to
Pauri.
