Triveni Sangam
Anasuya adopted the pen name Triveni out of respect for Mahatma Gandhi, whose ashes following his death, were immersed in the confluence of the three Indian rivers of Ganges, Yamuna and the invisible Sarasvati, known as the Triveni Sangam. Anasuya died of pulmonary embolism on 29 July 1963, 10 days after giving birth to Meera, at the Mission Hospital in Mysore.
