Location
Vedvyas is situated 9 km away on the confluence of the rivers Shankha, Koel and Saraswati. It is the birthplace of Vedavyasa, the author of the epic 'Mahabharata'. Vedavyasa earlier known as Krishna Dwipayana was the son of the great sage Parasara. He has also written other Epics besides Mahabharata. This place with abundant natural beauty, is considered a place of religious sanctity. There was a Vyasa cave in the middle of the river Shankha, which is now inacessible. The colour of the waters of the three rivers at the confluence looks different. There is also a Vedic Ashram and a Gurukula system school here.
