A city of many dimensions is what befits a description of Allahabad. In addition to being a major pilgrimage centre, the city has played an important part in the formation of modern India. Hindu mythology states that Lord Brahma, the creator god, chose a land for 'Prakrishta Yajna'. This land, at the confluence of three holy rivers - Ganga, Yamuna and Saraswati, blessed by gods, came to be known as 'Prayag' or 'Allahabad'. Foreseeing the sanctity of the place, Lord Brahma also called it as 'Tirth Raj' or 'King of all pilgrimage centres’.' The Scriptures - Vedas and the great epics - Ramayana and Mahabharata, refer to this place as Prayag. Centuries followed. Allahabad became the headquarters of North-Western Provinces, after being shifted from Agra. Well-preserved relics of the British impact include the Muir College and the All Saints Cathedral. Many important events in India's struggle for freedom, took place here - the emergence of the first Indian National Congress in 1885, the beginning of Mahatma Gandhi's non-violence movement in 1920.

Read moreAllahabad definitely seems to be the chosen one when it comes to being one of the most special places in the country. With such a great confluence of the three rivers, it has a long history attached to it, and with such a glorious history comes a long-standing culture, a different lifestyle and a lot of devotion towards God. Even today, almost all the people belonging to this holy place worship the Triveni Sangam more than anything, but it is sad to see even after so much of love and devotion, both our life-giving rivers Ganga and Yamuna are being killed slowly by the amount of pollution they have to bear.
