• The town is renowned for its unique sightseeing attractions, including the world-famous Vivekananda Rock Memorial, situated near the sacred Triveni Sangam.
• Triveni Sangam is the rare geographical point where two oceans and one sea meet, making it a significant spiritual and natural landmark. Nearby, the Gandhi Memorial Mandapam preserves the ashes of Mahatma Gandhi. The structure is architecturally designed so that sun rays fall directly on the memorial on 2nd October, Gandhi Jayanti.
