The Legend
Bhagirathi Bank, Ganga Temple
Here the story is of Ganga coming to earth through Shiva's hair. King Bhagirath's tapasya is why the river is called Bhagirathi at this stretch. We bring groups to this temple to offer water and prayer.
The building sits on the river bank in Gangotri town. From here, those who want the ice source continue to Gaumukh on a separate trek.
