Keeping myself inspired on this Sunday, post Covid (round two), by remembering all the spectacular places I’ve breathed in. This a view of Devprayag, Uttarakhand, where the mighty Ganges river officially begins. ‘Devprayag’ in Sanskrit means ‘divine’ or ‘holy’ confluence, according to Hindu scriptures. If one looks close enough, the different hues of blue can be seen as the Alakananda and Bagirathi rivers officially converge to create the Ganges. According to mythology, a third river, Saraswati, flows underground and meets these two rivers at the confluence. Our world is a magical, wondrous place, don’t forget it!
