Tridhara (त्रिधारा, IAST: tridhārā) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “Three-streamed; the triple-flowing Ganga”. An epithet of Ganga, who flows in three streams (svarga, prithvi, patala).
Meaning, etymology & significance
Tridhara (त्रिधारा) is built from tri (three) + dhārā (stream, current). The literal sense is "three-streamed" — and the word is an epithet of the Ganga, who in Hindu cosmology flows in three streams: in svarga (the celestial world) she is the Mandakini; on prithvi (earth) she is the Ganga; in patala (the netherworld) she is the Bhogavati.
The Vishnu Purana describes Ganga's three-stream nature in detail. To name a daughter Tridhara is therefore to invoke this cosmic-river tradition — the goddess who flows simultaneously through the three worlds.
The closely related Triveni names the confluence of three rivers at Prayag (Allahabad). Both names carry the sacred-river depth.
Pronunciation: tri-DHAA-raa. Pair with classical surnames where the Ganga-resonance is welcome.
Astrology — nakshatra & rashi
