                                 How Triveni Sangam got its name?

 Triveni Sangam is the place where 3 rivers meet , namely Ganga, Yamuna and Saraswati. It is one of the sacred places in Hinduism.
Out of 3 rivers Gamga, Yamuna are the rivers which are famous and are well known. But Saraswati river is the invisible one. Some say it was present in ancient times. Scientists have also discovered the flow of river which is now hailed as Gupta Gamini.
Now coming to origin of triveni sangam. Veni is a word of Sanskrit origin. In Sanskrit , Veni = part of hair. Tri= 3. We girls when tying our hair to make a knot, we divide the hair into 3 parts. Then using those 3 parts we tie the knot.
But this way of tying the knot, while looking externally looks is made of only 2 parts.  The 3rd one is invisible to onlooker eventhough it is present. Similarly, in triveni sangam, only the rivers Ganga and Yamuna are visible flowing. But the third river Saraswati is invisible.
Hence the name Triveni Sangam.
