Introduction to city Allahabad - In Uttar Pradesh
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 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, 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.
