Shri Raghunatha kirti CAMPUS (Estd.1908), Devaprayaga,
Uttarakhand was taken over by Central Sanskrit University (formerly Rashtriya Sanskrit Sansthan Deemed to be University ) on 16th June, 2016 as
its 13th constituent Campus. Like the former Mahavidyalaya, the campus is also
named after the famous ancient deity Shri Raghunathaji shrined in the ancient
Raghunatha temple constructed in the Katyuri style of Katyuri dynasty of the
mountains on the holy confluence of two important mythological rivers, namely,
Bhagirathi and Alaknanda from where exactly the river Ganga is believed to be
originated.
So far as the geographical, historical, mythological and educational status is concerned, Devaprayaga comes in the state of Uttarakhanda (formerly Uttaranchal and still formerly Uttarpradesh ) which is popularly and culturally known as Devabhumi or the divine land. This state of Devabhumi is adorned not only with one of the famous Jyotirmathas called Shribadrikashrama but with one of the twelve jyotirlingas, namely, Shrikedarnatha. The province has the credit of being the sources of two vedic as well mythological rivers Ganga and Yamuna. Even today also the divine-soul (devatatma) Himalaya stands here as the measuring pole of the earth as if to glorify the state. According to the Kedarakhanda of the Skanda-Purana, the name Devaprayaga came into existence on the very name of the sage Shri Devasharma who has undergone a severe penance in this auspicious place. Devaprayaga has the credit of being recognised as the first prayaga among the five prayagas of Uttarakhand, followed by Rudra prayaga, Karna Prayaga, Nanda prayaga and Vishnu prayaga respectively. The small but important city Deva prayaga is surrounded with atleast three series of mountains, namely, Griddhachala, Dasharathachala and Nrisimhachala etc. The Nrisimhachala part of Devaprayaga was famous earlier as a centre of learning in entire Uttarakhanda being categorically named as vidyakshetram. It is the only state where Sanskrit is accepted as its second official language.
