SUMMARY: Oh Bhavanashini! You perform the festival by anointing the lotus feet

of Lord Narasihma; I request you to be the destroyer of the sins committed by me

and their negative energy.

            Bhavanashini is very close to Sri Navanarasihma temples of Ahobila. It is said that the river was originally known as Mandakini. After Lord Narasihma tore demon Hiranyakashipu and his associate demons, the place lost its sanctity with the stain of the blood of Hiranyakashipu and other demons. Lord Narasihma asked the river to cleanse the area and purify it. As she relieves people from the “Bhavaroga” or the attachment to the world, she came to be known as Bhava-NAshini and hence the name “Bhavanashini”.

            SUMMARY: The Nivruttisangama, where all the sins concentrate in human beings get driven away and associate them with virtues and welfare, is shining with celestial radiation.

            Nivruttisangama is believed to be the confluence of seven holy rivers namely Krishna, Veni, Malapahari, Bheemarathi, Thunga, Bhadra and Bhavanashini. However, at present, the Nivrutti Sangama is referred to the confluence of Krishna and Bheema rivers.

            As it is the confluence of seven rivers (sapta nadi), it is considered to be one of the most powerful energy places where a dip in the Sangam is believed to destroy all sins and pave the path of salvation.
