Triveni Sangama, located at the confluence of the rivers Cauvery, Kannike, and the subterranean Sujyoti, is revered by pilgrims who traditionally take a dip in its waters and perform rituals for their ancestors before proceeding to Talakaveri, the birthplace of the river Kaveri.

"This sacred confluence is a significant site for many pilgrims. It is our duty to ensure its sanctity is maintained," said Ponnanna. Local authorities are expected to enforce the new restrictions strictly, ensuring that Triveni Sangama remains a place of reverence and spiritual significance for all visitors.
