Religious Importance
editNagavali, Suvarnamukhi and Vegavati rivers confluence (join together) takes place here and hence it is referred as Triveni Sangam.
The idol of Lord Sangameswara, another name for Lord Shiva, was here installed (vigraha pratista) by Balaram, the brother of Lord SriKrishna. This is one of the five 'Linga Kshetras'. Thousands of devotees gather here on Maha Shivaratri festival every year.[4]
