Who performs it
The temple
Triveni Sangam, Prayagraj
The confluence of the Ganga and the Yamuna at Prayagraj, joined in tradition by the unseen Saraswati. It is a tirtha rather than a walled temple: rites are performed on boats and on the sand flats, below the fort Akbar built here in 1583, with the Bade Hanuman shrine and the Adi Venimadhav shrine close at hand. The Magh Mela is held on these flats each winter and the Kumbh in its longer cycle. Prayagwal purohits have kept the pilgrim registers and the tarpan tradition of the sangam across many generations.

Purohit
Kaushik Mishra
He studied at a Sanskrit tol in Puri and has assisted at the Sangam ghats in Prayagraj during every Magh Mela since 2012. Odia families know him for Satyanarayan Katha and for tarpan; when a family books a Shraddha he travels to Prayagraj so that the rite is done at the Sangam itself rather than by proxy elsewhere. Bengali comes easily to him, which suits the many Kolkata-rooted families who now book him from Dubai and Melbourne. He is the youngest purohit in this cohort and says so himself when a family asks about his years.
