Riverfront pilgrim stay — short autos to Triveni Sangam and the dawn dip rhythm Kumbh demands.
Sleep near the confluence
Sangam Retreat trades Civil Lines polish for proximity — pilgrims who want the Triveni Sangam in morning mist without a long auto through mela traffic. Moksh pillar explicit: merit begins with water, and water is easier when your hotel is downstream in spirit if not in geography.

Dip-first itinerary
Dawn dip → Hanuman Mandir Sangam → lunch at Kohinoor → afternoon rest → Kumbh heritage walk storytelling. Civil Lines museums on a non-dip day.
