Allahabad

Allahabad, now officially known as Prayagraj, is a major pilgrimage city in Uttar Pradesh, North India. It's most famous for the Triveni Sangam, the confluence of the Ganges, Yamuna, and mythical Saraswati rivers, making it a sacred site for Hindus. Allahabad is a significant cultural and religious hub, especially during the Kumbh Mela, the world's largest peaceful gathering. However, be prepared for crowds, especially during festivals, and the city can be quite chaotic. The reward is experiencing deep-rooted Hindu traditions and witnessing a vibrant cultural scene.
