At the confluence of the Kaligandaki and Trishuli rivers, Tanahun Devghatdham is visited by a large number of people taking a Makarasnan on the day of Maghe Sankranti. Devotees arrived at Devghat early in the morning for Makar Snan on Tuesday.

Rajkumar Prasad Sah of Bara Jitpur Simra sub-metropolitan city-7 had taken a dip in the river confluence before four o'clock in the morning. Along with five family members, he left the house at midnight to take a bath.

Bharat Prasad Dahal of Nuwakot Devighat had also taken bath before five o'clock. According to Bharat Prasad, 43 people from the village came to Devghat from Nuwakot for Makar Snan. Kaligandaki river flowing from Muktinath and Trishuli river flowing from Gosaikund meet at Devghat. After that the name of the river is Narayani. Hindus consider Trishuli and Kaligandaki rivers sacred.

There is a religious belief that the gods also come to Makarsanaan at the confluence of these two rivers. That's why the shower starts early in the morning. Devghat area development committee chairman Bhim Bahadur Rana said. He said that devotees come not only from Chitwan and surrounding districts but also from all over the country for Makarsnan at Devghat. They also come from bordering Indian areas for bathing. 

Makar Snan is believed to have started after ritually burying a lingo at the confluence of two rivers on the day before Sankranti. Makar Snan has been taking place at Devghat since ancient times. Chairman Rana said that in the Puranas, Devghat Dham is also a pilgrimage site for pilgrims. That is why lakhs of devotees come here every year for Makarsana. Chairman Rana estimates that five lakh devotees will come to Devghat this time.
