Prayagraj – Where Ganga, Yamuna, and Saraswati Meet

Prayagraj, formerly known as Allahabad, is one of the most revered pilgrimage cities in India. Located in the state of Uttar Pradesh, it is world-famous for the Triveni Sangam – the confluence of the Ganga, Yamuna, and the invisible Saraswati rivers. This divine meeting point is believed to cleanse one’s sins and grant moksha (liberation), making it one of the holiest sites in Hinduism.

According to ancient scriptures, Lord Brahma performed the first yajna here, giving Prayagraj the title of Tirthraj – the king of pilgrimage sites. The city is best known for hosting the **Kumbh Mela**, the largest religious gathering on earth, held every 12 years, where millions take a holy dip in the Sangam. Prayagraj is not only a center of spiritual significance but also a vibrant hub of Indian culture, education, and heritage. It attracts pilgrims, saints, and tourists from all over the world throughout the year.
