Evening Time at the Triveni Ghat in Rishikesh...


Triveni Ghat is believed that the confluence of Ganga, Yamuna and Saraswati took place here. It is also a spot for the pilgrims who visit Rishikesh to take a holy dip in its water. This ghat is large and clean, and has separate changing rooms for women. Nearby is the Rishikund or sages’ pond. This is said to have been a havan kund where the holy men performed fire rituals in ancient times.There is also a Shani Mandir here.Triveni Ghat holds a spritual value and is considered a great place for pilgrimage.Triveni Ghat is a scared Ghat and bathing spot on the right bank of river Ganges, where devotees take a holy dip and offer their heartful prayers.
After sunset, the famous Ganga Maha Aarti takes place at around 6 PM, which sees the whole ghat come alive with divinity and religious fervour. Hundreds of leafed lamps float down the stream as divinity becomes the very air. You can buy these diyas from the nearby stalls and be a part of the beautiful custom. It is believed that a dip at Triveni Ghat can relieve one from the sins and help them attain salvation.
