Description
Prayagraj, formerly known as Allahabad, is a city located in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. It is situated at the confluence of three rivers: the Ganges, Yamuna, and the mythical Saraswati. This sacred confluence, referred to as 'Triveni Sangam', makes Prayagraj one of the holiest cities in Hinduism and a significant pilgrimage site.
The city has a rich historical and cultural background, having served as the capital of the United Provinces during British rule. Prayagraj is known for its educational institutions and was the birthplace of the Indian National Congress, which played a pivotal role in India's struggle for independence.
Prayagraj is famous for hosting the Kumbh Mela, one of the largest religious gatherings in the world. The event attracts millions of pilgrims and tourists from across the globe, making it a vibrant center of spirituality and cultural exchange.
