Triveni Sangamam, Kanyakumari
Triveni Sangamam is a
unique beach where you witness the Sangamam (meeting) of three seas - Bay of
Bengal, Indian Ocean and Arabian Sea. It is in Kanyakumari Town in Kanyakumari
District of Tamilnadu. As per Hindu belief, it is considered holy to take a dip
here. Assuming you are standing on the beach, with your face towards the water
in ocean (your back towards northern India), these 3 seas are Arabian Sea
(coming from your right), Bay of Bengal (coming from your left) and Indian
Ocean (coming from your front). At Triveni Sangam the waves of three seas
strike with each other, and fall apart, and one can distinguish the waves by
their different colors, through the naked eye. Triveni Sangam is considered an
important place for sacred bath, and that is the reason a lot of people come
here to take bath.
