English: confluence of Alaknanda (bottom, flowing in from right) and Mandakini River (flowing in from top - North) at Rudraprayag. the Chamundi mandir (temple) at the confluence can be seen. the scene is almost unrecognizable compared to what it was like before 17 June 2013. there used to be a footbridge (jhula) over the mandakini that was washed away in the 2013 Uttarakhand floods. the stones at the bottom of the stairs were not there, and there was a viewing gallery, and a very large rock called the Narad Shila.
