Ganga Aarti at Triveni Ghat
About This Activity
Experience the sacred Ganga Aarti at Triveni Ghat, the confluence of three holy rivers - Ganga, Yamuna, and the mythical Saraswati. This ancient ghat holds immense spiritual significance and is mentioned in Hindu epics Ramayana and Mahabharata. The evening Aarti ceremony takes place daily from 6:00 PM (5:30 PM in winter), creating a magical atmosphere with hundreds of diyas floating on the river. Devotees gather to witness priests performing rituals with large fire lamps, accompanied by devotional songs and temple bells. The morning Aarti at 5:00 AM offers a peaceful sunrise experience. Triveni Ghat is also the site where many devotees take holy dips, believing it cleanses sins and purifies the soul. The ghat features a large statue of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati, and the Krishna-Arjun chariot statue.
