The devotees have been thronging the confluence of the two rivers since early Tuesday morning for Makarasnan at the holy religious place Devghatdham. Makarasnan is believed to have started after ritually burying a lingo at the confluence of Kalgandaki and Trishuli rivers in the morning the previous day. But on the day of Sankranti, the noise increases after three o'clock.
'When I arrived at our secretariat near Sangamsthal at four o'clock in the morning, people had returned from bathing. It was overcrowded,' said Bhim Bahadur Rana, Chairman of Devghat Area Development Committee.
Makarsanaan not only from the country but also from the bordering Indian region Millions of devotees come. Rana, the chairman of Devghat Area Development Committee, estimates that five lakh people will take Makarsanaan this time too.
Hindus consider Trishuli and Kalgandaki rivers sacred. Both these rivers meet at Devghat. There is a religious belief that gods also come to bathe in Makar Sankranti.
Although the main confluence point is in Tanahun, Devghatdham has also touched Chitwan and Nawalparasi (east of Bardghat Susta) districts. Devghat is located about seven kilometers north-east from Narayangadh market in Chitwan. To reach Devghatdham quickly through Narayangadh, one has to cross the suspension bridge over Trishuli river.
But there is a facility to reach Devghat by crossing a concrete bridge from Dasdhunga and Ramnagar on Muglin-Narayangadh road. Apart from this, one can reach Devghat by crossing a concrete bridge from Navalparasi Gandakot-Hardi-Keladi. There is another old suspension bridge in Jugedi. There are also boats, rafting and boats to cross the confluence.
'There is no need to cross a single suspension bridge or a boat like before. Three cars will run There are big concrete bridges. The number of devotees coming for bathing is increasing,' said Purna Bahadur Kunwar, Ward President of Ward No. 5, who is the spokesperson of Devghat Rural Municipality. .
