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. |
