One such Triveni Sangam, in Allahabad, has the confluence of two rivers -- the Ganges and the Yamuna ( and the imaginary Saraswati River ). The two rivers maintain their visible identity and can be identified by their different colours. The water of the Ganges is clear, while that of the Yamuna is greenish in colour. A place of religious importance and the site for historic Kumbh Mela held every 12 years, over the years it has also been the site of immersion of ashes of several national leaders, including Mahatma Gandhi in 1948. This description of the confluence of the Ganga and Yamuna seems to be referred to in one of the latest sections of the Rigveda, which says, `` Those who bathe at the place where the two rivers flow together, rise up to heaven ''. According to the Puranas, there is also a third river called the Saraswati.
