Detailed explanation-1: -Triveni Sangam is the confluence of the Ganges (Ganga), the Yamuna, and the mythical Saraswati River. Triveni Sangam is located at Prayag – the area of Allahabad neighbouring the confluence; for this reason, the confluence is also sometimes referred to as Prayag.

Detailed explanation-2: -According to our sacred texts, River Saraswati, Ganga, and the Yamuna meet in Prayaga city. Prayaga is the name of the ancient city of Allahabad. This exact place where it happens is called Triveni Sangam because it is the point of amalgamation of the three holy rivers.

Detailed explanation-3: -The diversion of the river water through separation of its tributaries led to the conversion of the river as disconnected lakes and pools; ultimately it was reduced to a dry channel bed. Therefore, the river Saraswati has not disappeared but only dried up in some stretches.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Triveni Sangam, where the festival takes place, is the meeting place of three rivers: the Saraswati, Yamuna, and Ganga (Ganges).
