Kushmanda Sarowar Triveni Dham (Nepali: कुष्माण्ड सराेवर त्रिवेणी धाम) is a sacred Hindu pilgrimage site dedicated to the Goddess Kushmanda Bhagwati. The name Kushmanda is formed by amalgamation of three words, ku meaning ‘a little’, ushma meaning ‘warmth’ and anda meaning ‘the cosmic egg’. Hence, she is considered as the creator of the universe. She is often shown as having eight or ten hands and holds weapons, rosary, etc. and rides a lion. She is also said to be the happy form of goddess Durga, the fourth of the Navadurga worshipped in Dashahara. It is believed that her smile ended the eternal darkness that was present before the existence of any creation. Winter melon (Kubindo) is the favourite offering for the goddess.The pilgrimage is located in the outskirts of Hetauda sub-metropolis, in central Nepal. The site is a Triveni sangam (a confluence of three rivers) where two right tributaries Karra and Kukhreni flow into the East Rapti River. The holy site has seen significant development in the last decade. Kushmanda Sarobaar Tribeni Shrine Development Committee oversees the development and promotion of the site. Kushmanda Bhagwati Temple is the center of homage of the site. Kushmanda Sarowar is the holy pond dedicated to Mother Kushmanda. The river banks provide one of the major ritual Hindu cremation sites in Hetauda. It sees major influx of pilgrims during the festivals of Kushmanda Nawami, Makar Sankranti and Teej. It is believed that she and other gods come to bathe in the holy waters of this site. The devotees take a holy bath by immersing themselves into the waters of Triveni itself or by running under the row of a hundred and eight (108) holy taps that have been built in the temple premises. Tens of thousands of people visit the holy site in Makar Sankranti, taking ritual bathes and performing mass Upanayan of young boys, a Hindu rite of passage. Women observing the festival of Teej also take ritualistic baths here on Rishi Panchami to conclude the festival.

The Karra River (Karra Khola or Karrakhola in Nepali) is a river in Makawanpur district of Bagmati Province in Nepal. A right tributary of the East Rapti River, the Karra originates in the north-eastern Siwalik hills. It has numerous tributary rivulets. It flows from east to west direction. It is one of the main tributaries of the East Rapti. It flows through the middle of Hetauda sub-metropolitan city, before draining into East Rapti along with Kukhreni, another (minor) right tributary of East Rapti, in the outskirts of the city, forming a holy Triveni Sangam. The confluence is the site of Kusmanda Sarowar Triveni Dham, one of the major Triveni pilgrimages for Hindus in Nepal. The flow of Karra was found to be about 0.84 cubic meters per second in the dry seasons, and the minimum flow right before monsoon was measured to be between 0.65 and 0.75 cubic meters per second. It floods in the monsoon, occasionally causing damage. On 24 July 2019, a severe flooding caused by heavy monsoon rains caused the river to gush into human settlement, submerging dozens of houses in Shantinagar and Gardoi localities of Hetauda. Several civilians needed rescuing and a truck was swept away.Because it passes right through the city, and Hetauda Industrial district has been built in its banks, it is significantly polluted near the confluence compared to other rivers in the region, although it is as clean as other rivers upstream from the industrial sites in Hetauda. This is despite a wastewater treatment plant being operated to filter the sewage and waste from the industrial district before it's dumped into the river. According to a government report, waste from less than half of all industries in the industrial district were processed by the plant, with other industries dumping their sewage directly into the river.
