Question of The Day02-01-2024

The headwaters of the river Ganga is called ______. / गंगा नदी के हेडवाटर को ______ कहा जाता है।

Answer

Correct Answer : c ) Bhagirathi / भागीरथी

Explanation :

The headwaters of the river Ganga is called Bhagirathi.

The source of the Ganges is traditionally recognized as the Gangotri Glacier, located in the Garhwal Himalayas.

The Bhagirathi River originates from the Gangotri Glacier, and it is often referred to as the main or upper stream of the Ganges.

The Alaknanda River, another significant tributary, arises from the Alaknanda Glacier.

Hence, (c) is the correct answer.

गंगा नदी के उद्गम को भागीरथी कहा जाता है।

गंगा का स्रोत पारंपरिक रूप से गढ़वाल हिमालय में स्थित गंगोत्री ग्लेशियर के रूप में पहचाना जाता है।

भागीरथी नदी गंगोत्री ग्लेशियर से निकलती है, और इसे अक्सर गंगा की मुख्य या ऊपरी धारा के रूप में जाना जाता है।

अलकनंदा नदी, एक अन्य महत्वपूर्ण सहायक नदी, अलकनंदा ग्लेशियर से निकलती है।

अतः, (c) सही उत्तर है।
