Pratham Sangam and Katha
The Sangam
Approximately one kilometer from the first confluence, the two rivers separate, with the Kaveri flowing north of Omkar Parvat and the Narmada flowing to the south. They flow alongside each other until they reunite at the Narmada-Kaveri Sangam, creating an OM-shaped island, known as Omkar Parvat. This holy confluence, where the rivers rejoin, is revered as the Narmada-Kaveri Sangam.
This site holds great spiritual significance. To fulfill their wishes, travelers often build small stone structures here, believing that the more layers they create, the more blessings they will receive, symbolized by multi-storied buildings in their future lives. An ancient Shiva temple also stands at this sacred spot. Devotees complete the Parikrama, offer worship, and then release water for the Omkar Parikrama and onward blessings.
