Pavitra Sangamam

Pavitra Sangamam is a river confluence and pilgrimage-tourism centre at Ferry village in Ibrahimpatnam Mandal, NTR District, Andhra Pradesh, near Vijayawada. Developed where Godavari water brought through the Pattiseema Lift Irrigation Project meets the Krishna River, it features bathing ghats, temples and landscaped riverfront. Promoted by Andhra Pradesh Tourism, it is notable for holy dips, boating and scenic views of the two rivers merging.

Visitors can expect a developed riverfront at the confluence of the Krishna River and Godavari water, with concrete bathing ghats, steps leading to the water, small temples and shrines, landscaped gardens and viewing areas. The setting is open and riverside with wide water views. Areas to explore include the main ghat, temple complex, and boating point offering short river rides. Pilgrims perform rituals and holy dips, while other visitors sightsee and photograph the sangam.

Pavitra Sangamam was developed as a tourism and pilgrimage centre after the Pattiseema Lift Irrigation Project, which lifts Godavari water to the Krishna River at Ferry village. The project was commissioned in 2015-2016 to interlink the two rivers, and the state government subsequently developed ghats, temples and visitor facilities at the confluence to promote it as a sacred and tourist site.

The site is regarded as a sacred sangam where pilgrims take a holy dip at the confluence of the Krishna and Godavari waters. It is used for religious rituals, prayers and ceremonial baths, especially during auspicious occasions and Pushkaram-related observances, and is promoted as a pilgrimage destination in Andhra Pradesh.
