"Bhagirathi I, II and III peaks as seen in this cloudy misty glacier view from Gaumukh. Gaumukh translates to a cow's mouth, the mythological source of the river. Originally, the river sprouts from the snout of the Gangotri glacier, which might have looked like a cow's mouth in the past. The glacier is at a distance of 9 kilometres from the famous Gangotri temple, dedicated to goddess Ganga.
