Welcome to Travel Zone, your premier travel companion for discovering the enchanting cities of Varanasi and Prayagraj. Join us on an expedition through one of India's most sacred sites in this blog—the Sangam in Varanasi.
Situated approximately 7 km from Civil Lines, the Sangam is graced by the eastern ramparts of the fort. This hallowed ground marks the convergence of the brown Ganges and the Greenish Yamuna. Pandas (priests) perch on small platforms, conducting puja and aiding devotees in their ritual ablutions in the shallow waters. The beaches and ghats bear witness to the shorn hair of pilgrims offering pind for their departed parents.
The Sangam stands as the juncture of three revered rivers in Hindu mythology—Ganga, Yamuna, and the mythical Saraswati. Here, the distinct merging of the Ganges and Yamuna waters is a spectacle of profound importance. This site holds great significance in the Hindu faith, where taking a dip is believed to cleanse one's sins.
During the Kumbh/Ardh Kumbh festivals, the Sangam transforms into a vibrant hub, drawing devotees from across the nation. The Kumbh Mela, the world's largest religious gathering, occurs every twelve years. The holy Sangam hosts the Annual Magha Mela/Ardh Kumbh/Kumbh Mela, attracting millions seeking blessings through a sacred dip in the holy waters.
To enhance your Sangam experience, we offer comfortable boat rides for visitors. From the boat, witness the mesmerizing confluence of rivers and enjoy a panoramic view of the entire area—an experience etched in your memory.
