FAQs
Confluences (saṅgamas) are spiritually potent nodes in sacred geography, honored as living divine jurisdictions.
Gaṅgāsāgara and other ocean-confluence tīrthas (Sindhu-sāgara-yoga, Mahīsāgaraka, Sūkara) are highlighted.
Not explicit here, though such saṅgamas are classically associated with snāna (ritual bathing) and pilgrimage.
