Triveni Ghat

Rishikesh's Triveni Ghat is a holy ghat well-known for the Ganga Aarti. The word "Triveni" is derived from the combination of the words ``tri" (three) and "Veni," which means "confluence of three." Renowned for its spiritual and auspicious perfume, this is one of the must-visit PLACES TO VISIT IN RISHIKESH, the most spacious and must-see ghats.

Bathing in Triveni Ghat's water is believed to purify and grant relief from any sins committed. Before Triveni Ghat, devotees make a variety of offerings. They cheerfully feed the fish in the Ghat and give milk to the river before dawn. After dusk, a fantastic sight of lamps floating on the river as part of the aarti ceremony is visually pleasant. 

Besides appearing in the Hindu epics Mahabharata and Ramayana, Ghat holds significant importance in Hindu mythology and Puranic literature. It is thought that Lord Krishna came to this sacred location after the hunter Jara wounded him with an arrow. On the banks of Triveni Ghat are the well-known temples of Lakshminarayan and Gita Mandir.

A thriving market that meets pilgrims' demands for holy items and religious artifacts is located directly across the Ghat. The market is always busy because it also sells toys and everyday goods. Additionally, you are welcome to sit by the Ghat and take in some much-needed calm and quiet. 

While sitting here, feeding the fish is also a fun and fulfilling hobby. Rishikesh is a beautiful place, and Triveni Ghat is a fulfilling spot to visit as a pilgrim and to find redemption. It is a place you must explore during the RISHIKESH TOUR PACKAGE.
