| About Triveni Ghat
|
Triveni Ghat is the main bathing ghat, where the three rivers Ganga, Yamuna and Saraswati flow together. The dusk Aarti on the ghat is most impressive and is a real sight to behold. Devotees release flower-filled leaf boats carrying tiny oil lamps and let them float out on the river, which is a ceremony of worship, remembrance and hope

It is the most important places for religious ceremonies in Rishikesh. Barefoot, ranks of devotees sit in rows on the steps of the Ghat. As the sun begins to set, plating the river with gold, bells and gongs ring and chants fill the air. Rows of religious celebrants hold plates of flaming ghee, moving them in a circular salutation to the Goddess of the River.
This is a sacred bathing spot on the bank of the river Ganga where devotees take holy dips and offer prayers. Triveni Ghat is so called because it is believed to be the confluence of the Ganga, the Yamuna and the legendary Saraswati River.
Triveni Ghat is right where the Ganges or Ganga bends 90 degrees and that may be a reason why it is such a power spot. A visit to Gangarati is worth it.
