"Panch Prayag" refers to the five sacred river confluences in the Garhwal Himalayas of Uttarakhand, India. The word "Prayag" means confluence, and these five are considered extremely holy by Hindus. They represent the meeting points of the Alaknanda River with five different rivers at five different places, each carrying deep mythological and spiritual significance. Pilgrims often undertake the Panch Prayag Yatra, a spiritual journey visiting all five confluences.
Uttarakhand has historically been known as "Dev Bhoomi" (the land of the gods) for good reason. Many of Hinduism's most important shrines lie within the state. One of the most sacred of these is when India's largest river Ganga meets its tributaries on its foaming path down to the plains at five different sites called Panch Prayag.
The Ganges is the holiest river in India, and it is believed that it purifies the soul of all its sins. Thus, the confluences of the Ganges with its tributaries are worshipped as the spiritual places of divine salvation, otherwise called "Prayag". It is believed that a dip at the confluence cleanses the heart, mind, and soul of a person and inches him closer to liberation, or mukti
The rivers in these five spots are believed to be River Goddesses. Being a crucial integral part of the Char Dham Yatra for pilgrims, people worship these for pilgrims, people worship these river confluences at these divine banks or ghats and baths to seek blessings.
This map shows the sequential location of the Panch Prayag on the route to Badrinath:
1. Vishnuprayag - Alaknanda meets Dhauliganga
2. Nandaprayag - Alaknanda meets Nandakini
3. Karnaprayag Alaknanda meets Pindar
4. Rudraprayag - Alaknanda meets Mandakini
5. Devprayag - Alaknanda meets Bhagirathi to form the holy Ganga
According to Hindu mythology, Goddess Ganga wanted to descend to Earth and bless humankind, but her power was too much for Earth to handle. Lord Shiva, knowing this, decided to split her energy and distribute it equally across the lands. He took her energy into his matted locks and directed it to flow into Earth in twelve channels. These channels are said to rejoin after Devprayag, the last of the Panch Prayag that birthed the holy Ganga river. As a result, the Devprayag is considered the most important of the Panch Prayag.
The Satopanth, Bhagirathi, Alaknanda, Vishnuganga, Dhauliganga, Nandakini, Pindar, and Mandakini meet at different points along the path and finally form the Ganga at the holy site of Devprayag. It is also deduced that the Panch Prayag located on the road to Badrinath refers to the Swargarohana (ascend to heaven) route followed by the Pandavas to attain salvation after they completed the circumambulation of the earth.

Declassified CIA files confirm certain FBI documents related to Adolf Hitler, which claimed the Nazi Fuehrer escaped Germany and took up residence in South America after World War II.
The files indicate that in 1955, the chief of the CIA's Western Hemisphere Division (WHD) received a secret memo with the subject line "Operational: Adolf Hitler," from the acting CIA station chief in Venezuela, which indicated that one of his sources had received a tip that the Nazi Fuhrer was indeed alive and living in Argentina.
Interestingly, these revelations seem to confirm declassified FBI documents that also claimed sources had indicated that Hitler was indeed living in Argentina.
While the official story sold to the global public is that Hitler died of suicide in the Fuhrerbunker, the actual truth may be vastly different from the popularized version of events.
The acting CIA station chief's informants, CIMELODY, was contacted by a former SS trooper Phillip Citroen, who claimed to have been in contact with Hitler-who was living under the pseudonym Adolph Schuttlemayer - about once a month in Colombia, while there on a trip from Maracaibo as an employee of the Royal Dutch Shipping Company.
Citroen said that Hitler had left Colombia for Argentina around January 1955, and erroneously suggested that the statute of limitations for war crimes had passed - as it had been 10 years since the end of World War II - and that the Allies could no longer prosecute Hitler as a war criminal.
