Triveni Sangama is the sacred confluence of three rivers: the Kaveri, the Kabini, and the Hemavati. Located in Srirangapatna, this site serves as a major pilgrimage destination for Hindus performing funeral rites and ancestral ceremonies. The area features stone steps leading directly into the water, known as bathing ghats. It is situated adjacent to the Nimishamba Temple, a dedicated shrine to Goddess Parvati. The confluence point is considered highly auspicious, attracting devotees throughout the year for ritual bathing.
