Introduction to city Gangotri - In Uttranchal
Gangotri, the name brings an image of solitude, tranquillity,
mystery, adventure, and reverence. It is the ultimate
destination to fulfil all your wishes—be it the urge
to placate the gods above, the thirst for adventure,
or just to seek the tranquillity of the Himalayas.
Nevertheless, Gangotri, more than anything else, is
known as the origin of the sacred river Ganga and
attracts tourists in large numbers every year. Legend
has it that the Ganga came down to earth after prolonged
penance by King Bhagirath to Lord Shiva. However,
since the earth would be devastated if the Ganga came
down in her full force and pride, Lord Shiva caught
her in his locks. It was proclaimed that Shiva/’s
consort Parvati would bathe in the Ganga daily.
