Triveni Sangam
Triveni Sangam is a location in Phulpur where the Ganges, Yamuna, and invisible Saraswati rivers meet. The site stretches along the riverbanks with platforms built in the water for pilgrims to descend, surrounded by small temples and simple prayer areas.
This place is connected to ancient traditions where the creator deity Brahma is said to have performed a sacred fire ritual here. The city was called Prayag in ancient times, meaning a place of spiritual power.
The name Sangam means confluence, referring to where three rivers meet. Visitors witness the muddy waters of the Ganges mixing with the clearer flow of the Yamuna, a visual moment that carries deep spiritual meaning for Hindu worshippers.
Visitors reach the site easily from Phulpur and nearby Prayagraj by train or bus. The location requires modest dress and respectful behavior, which makes the visit more meaningful to experience.
The Saraswati River is believed to flow invisibly underground and secretly join the other two here. This hidden union makes the place more mysterious and spiritually significant for many believers.
