Solution : The correct answer is Ganga.
The Alaknanda River originates at the confluence of the Satopanth and Bhagirath Kharak glaciers in Uttarakhand, near the Tibet border. The Bhagirathi River begins at Gaumukh, situated at the base of the Gangotri and Khatling glaciers in the Garhwal Himalayas. These rivers, both considered sacred, unite at Devprayag, located 70 km from Rishikesh, forming the Ganga.
