Varuna Sangama

About

After 1.5km walk pilgrims reach to the confluence of the Varuna and the Ganga rivers, where many of them take a holy dip and then proceed to the compound of Keshava temple while loudly chanting the names of Lord Vishnu/Keshava. Bathing at the confluence of the Varuna and the Ganga and worshipping Sangashvara give a special religious merit, as referred in the Linga Purana (92.87-89): an excellent lingam has been installed by Brahma at this confluence. it is known in the world as Sangameshvara. if a man shall become pure taking his bath at the confluence of the divine river and then worship Sangameshvara, whence need he fear rebirth.
