Prayagraj:
Millions of devotees from all over the country and abroad are reaching Prayagraj for Mahakumbh 2025, where they are wished for salvation by bathing in the confluence of Ganga, Yamuna and invisible Saraswati. But a mysterious place called Saraswati Kup, located just a short distance from the Sangam, remains the center of attraction of the devotees. Here direct visions of the water of Maa Saraswati can be done here.
The Saraswati well located inside the Prayagraj Fort is considered a secret source of the Saraswati river. This follicle is directly connected to the confluence through underground water stream. In 2016, scientists and researchers conducted a study, in which it was proved by adding color to the water of this well that its water confluence flows into Triveni.
Subedar Major Ram Narayan Pandey, the chief priest of Saraswati Kup, says that this coupe is a well -shaped, hence it is called Saraswati follicle. It is believed that the Saraswati river originates from Mana village in front of Badrinath.
According to mythological beliefs, when Maharishi Ved Vyas was composing 18 Puranas, it was difficult to listen to Lord Ganesha due to the sound generated from the sharp stream of Maa Saraswati. Then mother Saraswati was ordered to flow towards Patal Lok. However, when she reached Prayagraj, Veni Madhav, the avatar of Lord Vishnu, persuaded her to return to the ground and merge into the confluence. This is the reason that the water of Saraswati well is considered to be the proof of the invisible Saraswati river.
It is a unique opportunity for the devotees who came for the Sangam bath in Mahakumbh to directly experience the invisible flow of Maa Saraswati by visiting Saraswati well. In order to make the journey of Sangam more sacred, devotees can come here and earn virtue by making this water.
