Prayagraj, known for the confluence of the holy rivers Ganga, Yamuna, and the invisible Saraswati, holds great spiritual and cultural significance. While the meeting of the Ganga and Yamuna is visible, the Saraswati River is believed to flow invisibly, completing the Triveni Sangam. The Saraswati Koop, a manifestation of the Saraswati River, is an important site in Sanatan culture.

Historically, access to the Saraswati Koop was restricted due to its location within a Mughal-era fort. However, the site was first opened to devotees during the 2019 Kumbh, organized by the Yogi government. On Friday, the inauguration of the Saraswati Koop Corridor made it easier for pilgrims to visit the sacred well, providing an uninterrupted path to this revered spot.

The Saraswati Koop is believed to inspire purity and wisdom, and the newly opened corridor will allow millions of devotees attending the Mahakumbh 2025 to experience its spiritual significance. With this development, PM Modi has ensured that devotees can access this sacred site with ease, preserving the cultural and spiritual heritage of the region.
