Triveni ghat in Somnath deserves special mention as a holy place as per Indian mythology since it finds mention even in epics such as the Ramayana and the Mahabharata. This is the meeting place of three important rivers i.e. Hiran, Kapila and Saraswati before they finally empty themselves out in the Arabian Sea. It is believed that Lord Krishna bathed at this place just before his journey towards Goloka Dham and hence it is a spot for many to take a dip for purifying themselves. Several ghats and changing rooms have been made to provide assistance in bathing. People who have ‘Pitrudosha’ regularly come here to perform shraddh tarpan or ancenstral worship. Due to the scarcity of water, a small dam has been built which makes this river bank perennial. Don’t miss an opportunity to take a boat ride to the confluence of the three rivers and feed the pigeons, also a special draw for kids.
