Prayagraj, historically known as Prayag and revered in ancient scriptures as Teertharaj—the "King of Pilgrimage Sites"—stands as one of India’s most sacred spiritual destinations. Situated at the confluence of the Ganga, Yamuna, and the invisible Saraswati rivers, the city holds unparalleled religious significance. It is renowned for hosting the grand Kumbh Mela every six years and the Mahakumbh every twelve years at the Sangam, events recognized as the world’s largest gatherings of pilgrims.
