Triveni Ghat is the spot where people make offerings to the river and take holy dip. It is thought that the water here has the power to cleanse them of all sins. Triveni Ghat is the confluence of Ganga, Yamuna and the legendary Saraswati river. Morning prayers and in the evenings floating of lamps offer a serene sight from the banks. Upstream there is a suspension bridge called Lakshman Jhoola. It was built in 1929 to replace a rope bridge. According to a legend, Sri Ram's brother Lakshman crossed the river here on a jute rope.
