Pilgrims hire boats from the designated ghats (like Qila Ghat, Sangam Ghat). These boats take you out to the confluence area.
During busy times, especially Mela periods, temporary platforms (pontoons or wooden structures) are often erected in the shallow parts of the Sangam area where the water flow is manageable. Rituals can be performed comfortably on these platforms.
Sometimes, particularly if the group is small or during less crowded periods, the rituals might be performed directly on the boat itself, with the Pandit guiding the process. The boatmen are experienced in positioning the boat appropriately.
