District Prayagraj

Prayagraj is one of the oldest cities in India. It is crowned in ancient scriptures as ‘Prayag’ or ‘Teertharaj’ and is considered the holiest of pilgrimage centres of India. It is situated at the confluence of three rivers- Ganga, Yamuna and the invisible Saraswati. The meeting point is known as Triveni and is very sacred to Hindus. The Kumbh held in every six years and Mahakumbh in every 12 years at Prayagraj (Sangam) are the largest gatherings of pilgrims on this earth.
The Maha Kumbh Mela, a sacred congregation that unfolds every twelve years, is more than a spectacular gathering of millions—it is a spiritual odyssey that delves into the very essence of human existence. Rooted in ancient Hindu mythology, the Maha Kumbh Mela holds a profound inner meaning, serving as a symbolic journey of self-realization, purification, and the eternal quest for spiritual enlightenment.
