On the way back from Talacauvery, lies the Triveni Sangam (also called as Bhagamandala). It is the confluence of three rivers—Kaveri, Kannike and the mythical river Sujyoti. In lieu of this holy spot, the Bhagandeswara Temple was built in the early 11th century by the Cholas. Dedicated to Lord Shiva and his sons Subrahmanya and Ganesha along with Lord Narayana, the structure doesn’t look venerable. The copper-tiled roofs, decorated walls and ceilings with sculpted murals painted in vegetable dye and wooden idols, adorn this beautiful temple complex. During Tula Sankranti, thousands of devotees take a dip in Triveni Sangam and offer their prayers at Bagandeswara temple as per the age old ritual, before moving on to Talacauvery.Triveni Sangam and Bhagandeswara Temple
