Sarid (the River-goddess; Revā/Narmadā in context)
Tirtha: Revā-tīrtha (Narmadā bathing place)
Type: ghat
Scene: A devotee bathes in Revā while a subtle mandala-like aura shows miniature icons of many famous tīrthas (Gaṅgā, Prayāga, Puṣkara, etc.) dissolving into the single river—signifying 'all tīrtha fruits' gained here through bhakti; Śiva’s presence blesses the act.
