Triveni Sangam


Boat Man, Sangam at Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh

The Triveni Sangam is the holy convergence of three rivers; the Yumuna, the Ganga and the mythical Saraswati, which flows under the earth. This is a very sacred place for Hindus. A bath here is said to wash all of ones sins and free a human from the cycle of birth.
