Description:
Sangam is the place where the three mighty rivers meet and flow down south east in silent confluence forming the huge Ganga River. The meeting place of these rivers can actually be seen as the brownish Ganga and the greenish Yamuna while the mystical River Saraswati is not to be seen and is said to be underground. There is a popular belief that the person who has never committed any sin can see the mystical River Saraswati at the confluence.
One can see many priests sitting on the Ghats here, who help the people to perform the last rituals of their kith and kin. Every 12th year this place hosts the world's largest religious assemblance called the Kumbh Mela. A dip in the Sangam during the Kumbh is considered to be washing of all the sins of the present and the previous births as well.
