The holy city of Prayagraj is also known as Allahabad. Prayagraj is a pilgrimage for Hindus because of its religious importance where the three great rivers Ganges (Ganga), Yamuna (Jamuna), and Saraswati meet at a point. The city’s religious importance to Hinduism continues as every year a festival takes place at the rivers’ confluence. Kumbh Mela is organised every year, and a Maha Kumbh festival on a very large scale is celebrated here every 12th year.
