The Gir Somnath District is home to this spot. In Sanskrit, a place where three rivers meet is famous as Triveni Sangam. Somnath is renowned for this landmark. The Triveni Ghat is the name of the Ghat that watches over this pool. The Triveni Ghat is another beautiful attraction among the places to visit in Somnath
