TRIVENI SANGAMAM


AT


ALLAHABAD




Triveni Sangam is located in Allahabad, Presently a Biggest and largest cities of Uttar Pradesh on confluence of three rivers- Ganga, Yamuna and the invisible Saraswati, A place well known as Prayag for the earlier settlements of the Aryans
Prayag is one of the ancient pilgrimage centers of India, and it represents the confluence of the rivers Yamuna and Ganga, near (in) the city of Allahabad in Uttar Pradesh.  Prayag   is revered in the hymns of the Rig Veda. Tradition regards the region between the Ganga and the Yamuna as the most fertile region on earth.
Prayag is referred to as Triveni Sangamam - where it is believed that the subterranian river Saraswati also meets the Ganga along with the Yamuna.

The Ganga the Sacred river of India, emerges from Gangotri & weaves her way down from the Himalayas passing through places made sacred by her arrival, like Rishikesh and Haridwar, through industrial city of Kanpur, before arriving at Allahabad to join her sisters as she makes her way to Kashi.

Yamuna also begins her journey in the Himalayas, at Yamunotri, and passes through Mathura and Brindavan, made more sacred by the association of Krishna, and finally arrives at Allahabad where she joins the Ganga to merge her identity with her.

Saraswati arrives at Allahabad from mystical lands from underground, who remains unseen to mankind, making her presence felt at certain, extremely special places. She renders the holy Ganga and Yamuna even more pure, more sacred by her association with them at Allahabad. The place where these 3 rivers merge is the Triveni Sangam, a place where thousands and thousands congregate to pay their respects to the rivers and pray for their well being and forgiveness for their sins.

Triveni Sangam is a great place of religious importance and the site for historic Kumbh Mela held every 12 years, over the years it has also been, the site of immersion of ashes of several national leaders, including Mahatma Gandhi in 1948.
