Triveni sangamam

The Triveni confluence is located at a distance of 135 km from Varanasi, Allahabad in the state of Uttar Pradesh. Here the Ganges and The Yamuna meet before our eyes. The Saraswati River joins the tributary. This is called the confluence of Prayaga and Triveni. In the Ramayana, it is said that Lord Rama actually bathed in this Triveni Sangam. Once upon a time, Prajapati Brahma performed a great sacrifice at this confluence place. Hence the name Prayaga or Prayagaraja. According to Hindu doctrine, it is Prakshita Yajna. God Brahma chose a place for that yajna on earth. The place is located at the confluence of the rivers Ganga, Yamuna, and Saraswati. This combination is called confluence. Sacred festivals and rituals are performed in this confluence area throughout the year. Hindus believe that Brahma first performed Yaga in Prayaga after creating the world. Here the holy baths can be done not only for themselves but also for parents, wife, relatives, teachers, and brothers. In the middle of the river, there are small boats for bathing. In those boats, you can go to the confluence and bathe there. At the confluence of the rivers Ganga and Yamuna, there are two types of colored water. One is black water and the other is red water. The river is shallow and the flow rate is low. The land was submerged in so much seawater during the deluge, but this prayaga will not sink. During the Pralaya period, Lord Vishnu appears here in the form of Vata Patra Sai. All the deities guard this shrine. Brahma is in the position north of this hanging. Vishnu is in the form of Venu Madhava. Lord Shiva takes the form of Akshaya Vata Vriksha. Legend has it that each of them had to cut their hair in this prayaga, leave tarpans in Kurukshetra, perform fetal prime in Gaya, and finally sacrifice their lives in Kashi. An unexpected fort for the boat dock was built by Akbar in 1583 AD. Inside the fort is a land house. The temple has idols of many deities.

Ravi and neem trees are located near the steps leading to the house. This is called Akshaya Vatam. Some say that Gautama Buddha sat under this tree and made prophecies to his disciples. In the distance is the Madhaveshwari Devi Temple, one of the Ashtadasha Shakti Peethas. If you come out of the fort and go a little further, there is an Anjaneyani temple on the left side of the road. It has a reclining Anjaneya idol. About 20 feet long and 15 feet wide, the statue is completely adorned with acorns. Just past the Hanuman Temple, on the right side of the road, is the Kanchi Kamakoti Peetha, the temple they built. Built-in the southern style, the temple has three floors. In the sanctum sanctorum below, there is Kanchi Kamakshi, on the middle floor is Tirupati Venkateswara, and on the third floor is the Sahasra Linga work Shivalingam. Allahabad has three places to visit. Ananda Bhavan, Bhardwaj Ashram and museums are all in almost the same place. Anand Bhavan and Swaraj Bhavan is two adjacent buildings. Swaraj Bhavan is the residence of Motilal Nehru. Ananda Bhavan is the residence of Jawaharlal Nehru. The Bhardwaj Ashram is located on the other side of the road, a short distance from the Ananda Bhavan. This is a very small temple.

With Sita Lakshmana, Lord Rama left Ayodhya to dwell in the forest, crossed the river Ganga and first set foot in the region. Then the whole area was densely forested. At the beginning of the forest, Bhardwaj Maharshi established an ashram and resided there. Bhardwaj told Sri Rama that Sri Rama had come and visited the sage, and that the sage had hosted Sri Rama and then built an ashram at a nearby place called Chitrakootam, and Sri Rama built the ashram as well. Chitrakoot is a shrine located at a distance of about 85 km southwest of Allahabad.
