Nestled on the banks of the Ganges River in Rishikesh, Triveni Ghat serves as a significant gathering point for Hindu pilgrims. This ghat comes to life especially around sunset, when the Ganga aarti, a prayer ritual, takes place. During the aarti, priests offer prayers to the river with large lanterns, and devotees release small oil lanterns made of leaves into the flowing waters. Visitors can witness this serene and spiritually charged ceremony, immersing themselves in the cultural and religious traditions that have drawn people to this sacred site for generations.
