The confluence of the rivers Alaknanda and Bhagirathi is known as Devaprayag. Let`s break down the other options to understand why they are not the correct answers:
Option 1: Rudraprayag is another confluence of rivers in Uttarakhand, but it is the merging point of the Alaknanda and Mandakini rivers. So, it is not the confluence mentioned in the question.
Option 3: Haridwar is an important pilgrimage site on the banks of the Ganges river, but it is not the specific confluence being referred to in the question.
Option 4: Kedarnath is a holy town located near the Mandakini river, but it is not the confluence mentioned in the question.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 2, Devaprayag.
