Gomukh is located at an altitude of about 4,000 meters in Uttarkashi district, Uttarakhand.
The river plays a significant role in Hindu mythology and is worshipped as the holy Ganga.
Important factual detail: Gangotri is the name of the glacier but not the source itself; hence, option B is incorrect.
Tapovan is another area in the vicinity of the region but does not serve as the source, ruling out option C.
Vishnu Prayag is a confluence point of rivers and not the origination point of the Bhagirathi, making option D incorrect.
A is correct тАФ The Bhagirathi River originates from Gomukh.
