Prayagraj is a city of Sangam, where river Ganga, Yamuna and Saraswati meet (river Sarasvati meets underground). There is only one Bhishm Pitamah Mandir (or temple) in the world, which is in Prayagraj. Prayagraj is a place where Maha Kumbh Mela takes place once in every twelve years, with the largest human gathering in the world, and Ardh Kumbh Mela once in six years.

Allahabad is great city considering its warm nature, effective connectivity and general working environment the year-round. The thing to know though, is that it has a number of traditions that come off as weird to newcomers sometimes, because they seem so superficial on the front but have a deep meaning attached to them. It is also home to the biggest yearly congregation of Hindus each year who assemble on the banks of the Ganges and spend a month there living in tents as an atonement for their sins.

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.

Prayagraj is a city of religion so before entering here one should learn to respect people and should know how to speak politely with them. Since my city has diversity of religious practices, one should not mess with their ideologies. he should also know the art of manipulation and then you are on.

Allahabad is a very fun and jovial city. There is a lot of hustle-and-bustle going around always. This city is known for its religious tourist attractions, especially the holy river Ganges. Though, it is very busy on the streets and marketplaces, it can be very quiet and quaint around the societies and living areas. one can feel pretty heart-warmed residing in Allahabad.

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.
