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.

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.

Devprayag is the home of priests of Badrinath. They are known as Pandas. Every Panda has his own region in whole country. A thousand years ago, when Adiguru Shankaracharya came to the area in Badrikashram in the 8th century, many South Indian Brahmins from different areas with different castes came over here with Aadiguru. These were Tetriya Krishna Yajur Brahmin. Inspired by the wisdom of Brahmins, Maharaja of Garhwal assigned them to worship Lord Ram in Raghunath Temple in Devprayag. When these Brahmins arrived at Badrinath, they were worshiped by the pilgrims. Since then, Brahmins are known as Panda in Dham and everywhere. Pandas worship devotees of the same area of each region they offers. Every Panda plays a significant role in any devotee life while he arrives Badrinath for Puja or Darshan. While they arrive Badrinath, Pandas look after them very carefully. Pandas organize everything for their Yatri like food, accommodation, puja's tickets, and everything which is really needful to the yatri. Pandas have a thousands years of literature of their devotee(Yatri). In this literature, every information is mentioned about devotee's last 3 or 4 generations. Every Panda having various types of books related to his Yatri's information, like Bahi, Daskhati and all others. Every Yatri is identified with the help of these books. The peoples of Devprayag (Pandas) spend their 6 months of a year at Badrinath and rest of 2-3 months in Devprayag. They spend this in their own regions. It is quite hard for a Panda and his family as He spends very less time with the family. Many peoples say that Pandagiri is a very normal and less prestigious occupation. But as it belongs to their God Almighty and this is their patrimonial occupation, it automatically becomes more prestigious rather than the other occupations.+ the other hand, Bal Mithai is a brown chocolate-like fudge, made with roasted khoya, coated with white sugar balls.

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 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.
