L’Alaknanda o Alakananda (in sanscrito: अळकनन्दा; in hindi: अलकनन्दा नदी) è un fiume dell'India settentrionale che scorre nello stato dell'Uttarakhand.

L'Alaknanda è una delle due sorgenti principali del Gange, il fiume sacro dell'Induismo, e dal punto di vista idrologico anche la più importante.[1] Tuttavia nella mitologia Indù e nella cultura tradizionale, la vera sorgente del Gange è considerata il fiume Bhagirathi, anche se quest'ultimo ha una portata inferiore.

Caratteristiche

L'Alaknanda si origina alle pendici dell'Himalaya, alla confluenza del ghiacciaio Satopanth con il ghiacciaio Bhagirath Kharak, nello stato indiano dell'Uttarakhand.[2][3]

Le acque del fiume appaiono molto turbolente e torbide a causa del notevole trasporto di detriti e sedimenti. All'altezza del villaggio di Mana, a 21 km di distanza dal confine con il Tibet, riceve le acque del fiume Sarasvati. Tre chilometri più a valle, il fiume passa per il villaggio di Badrinathpuri, importante centro di pellegrinaggio per gli Indù.

Nei pressi di Dev Prayag si unisce alle acque del Bhagirathi e da quel momento il fiume risultante assume il nome di Gange.
