Triveni Sangam
ત્રિવેણી સંગમ
The confluence where the Hiran, Kapila and the legendary Saraswati rivers meet and flow into the sea, where pilgrims bathe and purify themselves at the riverside ghats.
Triveni Sangam lies about 1 km east of the temple, where the Hiran and Kapila rivers join the mythical Saraswati, said to flow underground, before entering the Arabian Sea. Hindus regard the site as especially sacred for bathing, and legend holds that Krishna's body was cremated here. The bathing ghat (Snan Ghat) has been restored by the Somnath Trust. In the early morning pilgrims bathe and make offerings, flocks of gulls gather in winter, and the sunset here is beautiful. Nearby temples including the Parashuram Temple and the Gita Temple can be visited on foot. The Trust's sightseeing buses, running at 10:00 and 15:00 each day, also pass through.
