Day 2 Raghunathji Temple Devprayag 14th May 2018

Raghunathji Temple (also called Tirukantamenum Kadi Nagar) in Devprayag, a pilgrimage town in Tehri Garhwal district in Himalayas in the North Indian state of Uttarakhand, is dedicated to Vishnu. It is located 73 km from Rishikesh on the Rishikesh - Badrinath highway. Constructed in the Deula style, the temple is glorified in the Divya Prabandha, the early medieval Tamil canon of the Azhwar saints from the 6th–9th centuries AD. It is one of the 108 Divyadesamdedicated to Vishnu, who is worshipped as Raghunathji and his consort Lakshmi as Sita.
The temple was originally believed to have been established by Adi Shankara during the 8th century, with later expansions by the Garhwal Kingdom. The temple is located uphill on the confluence of Alaknanda - Bhagirathi rivers, which becomes River Ganga subsequently. Raghunathji is believed to performed penance at this place to relieve himself off the curse committed by killing Ravana. The temple is maintained and administered by the Uttarakhand Tourism Development Board of the Government of Uttarakhand

Climbing Raghunath Temple in Devprayag

After taking bath we climbed up more than 200 steps to visit Raghunath temple on the hill. Though climbing hundreds of steps to Raghunath temple was difficult for my mom we could make it possible and had the darshan of Lord Raghunath. The mountain views, bathing ghat and hanging bridges on the river were all looking very attractive.

Devprayag Bathing Ghat and Raghunath Temple

After visiting Gangotri and Uttarkashi we visited Devaprayag on our return trip. A prayag is a confluence of two rivers and Devaprayag is one of the five important prayags (confluences) on Himalays. Devprayag is about 70 kms from Rishikesh and located about 800 meters above sea level. It is the confluence of river Alakananda and Bhagirathi whih forms river Ganga thereafter.

We stayed in Kedar Badri Samiti rest house which was on the banks of the river. We were able to see the river, the bathing ghat, the mountains, Raghunath temple and Devprayag Township from our room. We stayed in Devaprayag for two days. It was interesting to mark the color differences of the two rivers. Bhagirathi was looking greenish while Alakananda was looking gray. However the current of Alakananda was much stronger than Bhagirathi. As it was rainy season the river was full of water.

My mom (85 years) took a holy bath in the sangam. After taking bath we climbed up more than 200 steps to visit Raghunath temple on the hill. Though climbing hundreds of steps to Raghunath temple was difficult for my mom we could make it possible and had the darshan of Lord Raghunath. The mountain views, bathing ghat and hanging bridges on the river were all looking very attractive.
