Keshavprayag is the sangam (confluence) of Alakhnanada and Saraswati river (not visible now). It is located in the  Uttarakhand state  in north-west India.

Acoording to the Puranas this is where the patron God Manibhadra is said to reside.

Close to Keshavprayag is the temple of Mata Murti, mother of the celestial sages, Nar and Narayan.

An annual fair is held here, two days after Ashtami during Navratri.

 In close proximity to this temple stands the Maninag mountain. It is believed that this used to shelter an enchanted pool, over which a Yaksha or demon exercised his power. This pool would recede each time someone came for water, and the Yaksha declared that any passerby unable to answer his questions would have his soul captured. Four of the Pandavas disappeared in this manner, one by one, when they went to fetch water for Draupadi. Yudhishtir, the fifth one, gave all the correct answers (which have been recorded in the Mahabharata) and resurrected his brothers.
