Gangotri
Located within the Greater Himalayan Range in the state of Uttarakhand, is the holy town of Gangotri, a popular place of pilgrimage forming part of the Char Dham Yatra. Gangotri is known as the abode of the goddess Ganga, who manifests as the sacred river Ganges which nurtures the entire Northern India. According to Hindu legend, it was here that Goddess Ganga descended to the Earth when Lord Shiva released the mighty river from the locks of his hair. The river flowing from the glacial source (Gomukh) is called Bhagirathi and is an important tributary of Ganga. Bhagirathi river acquires the name Ganga once it passes Devprayag at its confluence with the Alaknanda river.
