About 44 km from Devprayag is the Himalayan town of Srinagar (not to be confused with the srinagar in the Kashmir Valley) where Sri Shankara Bhagvapada wrote his Kshamaparad Stotram in the praise of Goddess Durga. There is a seat of Sri Yantra and temple of Sridevi.This is a place from where the pilgrims go via Tehri to Uttarkashi,Gangotri,and Yamnotri.Srinagar has a number of guest house and hotels-described by Prabhat Tandon,Bareilly,UP,India.
Nestled in the foothills of majestic Himalayas and on the banks of Alaknanda River sits the historic town of Srinagar. Srinagar received its name from Sri Yantra, a mythical giant rock so evil that whoever set their eyes on it would immediately die. The rock was believed to have taken as many as thousand lives before Adi Shankaracharya, in the 8th century AD, as a part of an undertaking aimed to rejuvenate the Hindu religion across India, visited Srinagar and turned the Sri Yantra upside down and hurled it into the nearby river Alaknanda. To this day, this rock is beleived to be lying docile in the underbelly of the river. That area is now known as Sri Yantra Tapu.
