Located at the confluence of Rivers Ganga, Yamuna and the mythical Saraswati, Allahabad or Prayag as it was known in the olden days is a heritage treat.

This unique land by virtue of being set at the very point where the three sacred Rivers meet is one of the most important Hindu pilgrimage destinations. Known as Sangam or the 'meeting point', Allahabad impresses with its treasure of old buildings, parks and forts.

Allahabad is famous as the venue of the Maha Kumbh - a religious Hindu fair that is held once in every 12 years. Devotees flock in thousands during the Kumbh Mela to take a dip in the sacred waters near Sangam. Another important religious event that takes place in Allahabad is the Magh Mela that is an annual affair. Allahabad's significance can be gauged from the fact that the city finds a mention in the Vedas, Ramayana and the Mahabharata. In fact according to ancient Hindu scriptures Allahabad is the sacred spot that was chosen by Lord Brahma for the performance of Prakrishta Yajna.

Places of interest that you may explore on an Allahabad tour include the Khusro Bagh, Allahabad Fort, Hanuman Temple, All Saints Cathedral and the Ananda Shrine.

Allahabad is of historic importance with reference to context- India's struggle for freedom as it was here that the east India Company relinquished control over India and handed over its political reigns to the English Crown.
