Tirukkandamennum Kadinagar - Neelamega Perumal Mandir

This much-hallowed Vaishnava kshetra lies at the confluence of Vishnu Ganga with Bhagirathi. And at this place alone this holy river is christened as Ganga. Moreover, here meet the other rivers Alakananda, Saraswathi and Bhagirathi, making this into a holy confluence going by the name of Triveni Sangama. The mere fact of merging these sacred rivers has invested the place with a unique divinity igniting irresistible craze for pilgrimage. Normally. pilgrims to the North, visit this invariably, after completing darsan  at Haiidwar and Rishikesh. And Rishikesh is the starting point for these good old Himalayan kshetras like Kedarnath, Badarinath, Gangotri etc. Four wheelers run by State Government and Private Organizations are aplenty, so desiring yatris avail them at all seasons. The archamurti's icon in standing posture faces cast and is sculptured superbly. The floral decoration interspersed with gold jewels serves a feast to the eves and lifts the souls. The Goddess is called Nndarikavalh and as it is on the bank of Pavana Ganga, no Pushkarini is needed for separate bath. The garbha griha is adorned with Mangala Vimana. Perialwar and Tirumangai Alwar offered Mangalasasana to lord expressing their realisation of the glory of the Lord and his kshetra. Regular worship is offered and periodical festivals are celebrated with due fervour. Bharadwaja Maharishi enjoyed the vision of the lord here.

It lies about 85 km off Haridwar, a famous temple city of Uttar Pradesh, accessible by four wheelers.
