Triveni Sangamam, Kanyakumari

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.
