Triveni
Sangam,
Allahabad
One
of
the
holiest
places
in
Central
India,
Triveni
Sangam
is
located
about
7
kilometres
away
from
Civil
Lines
in
Allahabad
(Prayagraj).
It
is
the
meeting
point
of
three
rivers
-
Ganga,
Yamuna,
and
Saraswati
(which
is
a
mythical
river,
supposed
to
have
dried
up
more
than
4,000
years
ago).
It
is
one
of
the
places
where
the
Kumbh
Mela
is
held
once
every
12
years.
The
exact
date
of
the
Mela
is
determined
according
to
the
Hindu
calendar
i.e.
the
Panchanga.
All
three
rivers
Ganga,
Yamuna,
and
Saraswati
are
highly
revered
rivers
in
Indian
mythology,
and
hence
the
confluence
point
of
these
rivers
hold
tremendous
religious
importance.
According
to
Hindu
mythology,
taking
a
bath
in
the
holy
Triveni
Sangam
is
supposed
to
flush
away
all
the
sins
and
free
you
from
the
cycle
of
rebirth.
Moreover,
the
Sangam
itself
is
a
beautiful
and
peaceful
place
to
visit.
The
brownish
Ganga
meeting
the
slightly
greenish
Yamuna
is
indeed
a
sight
to
behold.
If
you
take
a
boat
ride
to
the
gently
flowing
waters
of
Ganga
and
Yamuna,
you'll
be
able
to
make
out
the
difference
in
colours
of
water
from
the
two
rivers.
There
are
also
makeshift
wooden
banks
made
at
the
Sangam.
Hence,
devotees
who
want
can
take
a
bath
right
at
the
confluence
point.
The
water
is
clean
enough
at
the
Triveni
Sangam
for
a
bath,
especially
during
the
winters;
and
also
not
very
deep,
so
it
is
fun
to
take
a
dip
in
the
water
here.
