The History of Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh

Someone moving here should know the Indian standard time is based on the time in Prayagraj (Allahabad). The city has rich cultural heritage. The biggest confluence of three rivers is found here. The city is being developed into a smart city, so the overall living experience is only going to improve.

Someone moving to Allahabad must be prepared to face hot summers and cold winters. They will get an opportunity to enjoy the sunrise and sunset at Sangam and awesome street food. Some famous eating joints are Netram, Sulaki, Hariram samosa and medical college chat. They can also visit several places of religious and historical importance like Anand Bhavan, Mankameshwar temple etc.

I’m going to tell about Prayag raj, Prayagraj is one of the largest cities of the North Indian state of Uttar Pradesh in India. Although initially named allahabad the name later became Allahabad in an anglicized version in Roman script. In 2018 the city was renamed to its original name Prayagraj by the State government. The city is on an inland peninsula, surrounded by the rivers Ganges and Yamuna on three sides, with only one side connected to the mainland Doab region, of which it is a part. This position is of importance in Hindu scriptures for it is at the confluence, known as Triveni Sangam, of the holy rivers.

The old name of Prayagraj is Allahabad. My city is at the bank of river Ganga. It is known as the ‘Sangam of three rivers’ i.e., Ganga, Yamuna and Saraswati. There is a type of monument at Civil Lines known as Taramandal, belongs to Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru.
