Prayagraj, formerly Allahabad, is defined by the Triveni Sangam — the confluence of the Ganga, the Yamuna, and the mythical, invisible Saraswati. It is one of the four sites of the Kumbh Mela and a major stop on the Kashi pilgrimage circuit, roughly 130 km from Varanasi.
Beyond the Sangam, the city carries a layered history — from its Mughal-era fort to its role in India's independence movement through the Nehru family home.
October to March for pleasant weather; Kumbh Mela years bring the city's largest pilgrim gatherings.
