Why is River Ganga called as Tripath agamini ?

#Tripathagamini Ganga

Because of #Bhagiratha's efforts, the river is also known as Bhagirathi. She is also known as tripathaga, because she flows in the three worlds, heaven, earth, and the netherworld. Image
Another epithet that Ganga is known by is Jahanvi, because she flooded the ashram of Sage Jahnu while being led by Bhagiratha.

With a touch of Vishnu's feet simple water of #Brahma's #kamandala expands into a mighty stream which Shiva bears on his head when it descends and
then releases. Later, sage Jahnu does the same. Thus born of threes sources, #Vishnu's feet, #Shiva's coiffure and sage Jahnu's ear, Ganga is said to be ‘Trisrota'. At Prayagraj, she is joined by Yamuna & the unmanifest Saraswati & becomes as Triveni-confluence of 3 rivers.
