Deoprayag is 95 kms from Haridwar and is the most sacred Confluence of Alaknanda and Bhagirathi rivers in the vast network of tributaries that form the Ganges. It is from Deoprayag that the river starts taking the name Ganga. At a height of 1700 feet above sea level, 70 km from Rishikesh, Deoprayag is a pilgrimage centre of great significance and is the second most important confluence in India, next to Prayag (Allahabad). In Treta-yuga, Lord Rama and Laksmana performed a yajna (sacrifice) here to atone for killing Ravana, who was a Brahmin. The ancient Raghunath Temple here with a 15-foot tall deity of Sri Rama (Sri Raghunath) is one of the 108 most important temples in India. In front of the temple is Garuda. Behind the temple and slightly up a hill is Vamana's cave and nearby is Lord Rama's stone throne.

Shrines dedicated to Hanumanji, Badrinathji, Kaala Bhairav, and Shiva are also here. Brahma, Dashrath and Ram are said to have prayed here. The verses of Saint Periyalwar composed in Tamil praise the glory of Tirukkandam, stating that the Vishnu revered in Mathura Dwaraka, Ayodhya and Sree Vaikunt is same as the Purushottam dwelling in Tirukkandam or Kadinagar. Deo Prayag, the meeting point of Bhagirathi and Alaknanda Rivers, literally means the birthplace of the sacred Ganga. It is a delightful and fascinating sight to watch the rivers flowing majestically through sculptured channels carved through the rocks. Devprayag is also known as Tirukkandam or Kadinagar. Raghunath temple and Chandrashill are worth visiting.
