Introduction of Allahabad
The city of Allahabad is one place where the remains of the dead take rest and leave for the ethereal abode, and get rid of their eternal cycle of birth and rebirth. Allahabad city is also the land where some of India's most charismatic people have either taken birth or made it their permanent abode.
Situated in Uttar Pradesh, at a distance of 238 km from the state capital Lucknow, city of Allahabad is one of the holiest cities of India and a prominent centre for culture, administration, and education. The city finds mention in the sacred scriptures, including the Vedas, Puranas, the Ramayana, and the Mahabharata, as Prayag. The city is especially sacred for the Hindus, as it is here that the Ganga, Yamuna, and the mythical Saraswati meet. Because of the confluence of three rivers, it is also called the Sangam. The Kumbh Mela is held here after every twelve years
