Q. Where does the Bhagirathi River originate?
Answer: Gaumukh
Notes: The Bhagirathi River originates from the Gaumukh glacier, the snout of the Gangotri Glacier in Uttarkashi district, Uttarakhand. The glacier’s name means ‘cow’s mouth’ due to its shape. The Bhagirathi merges with the Alaknanda River at Devprayag, where they form the Ganga River.
