Holy Dip at Triveni Ghat
About This Activity
Take a sacred holy dip at Triveni Ghat, believed to cleanse sins and purify the soul according to Hindu tradition. This ancient practice has been performed for thousands of years at the confluence of three sacred rivers - Ganga, Yamuna, and Saraswati. Devotees from across India visit Triveni Ghat to perform this ritual, especially during auspicious occasions and festivals. The best time for a holy dip is early morning during sunrise or before the evening Aarti. The ghat provides changing rooms and facilities for devotees. Many also perform rituals for deceased ancestors here. The experience is deeply spiritual, with priests available to guide religious ceremonies. The cool, flowing waters of the Ganges combined with the serene atmosphere make it a transformative spiritual experience.
