Now famous as Allahabad, the holy city of Prayag is the confluence of the two holiest rivers of India – Ganga, Yamuna and a mythical third called Saraswati. Legend has it that this is the site of a famous sacrifice to Lord Brahma. A dip at this 'Sangam'(confluence) frees a Hindu from the relentless cycle of births and deaths. It is also the site for the famous "Kumbh Mela".

Allahabad is best connected by train to Delhi, Calcutta and Varanasi. Road and Air links to all nearby cities are present.
