Prayagraj: Where Rivers and Souls Meet
Prayagraj, the 'King of Pilgrimage Sites', is celebrated for the Triveni Sangam—the sacred confluence of the three most holy rivers: the Ganga, the Yamuna, and the invisible Saraswati. It is here that the Kumbh Mela, the largest religious gathering on earth, takes place.
Significance of the Holy Snan (Bath)
Taking a dip at the exact point where the dark waters of the Yamuna meet the pale Ganga is considered one of the highest spiritual acts in Hinduism. It is believed that a holy snan here cleanses the soul of all past sins and brings the devotee closer to Moksha (liberation).
Planning Your Sangam Visit
The Sangam is located about 7 km from the main Prayagraj railway station. Access to the confluence point is primarily by boat. Our Triveni Sangam Prayagraj Tour Package includes pre-arranged boat transfers and a local guide who can explain the mythology and ensure a safe experience.
Important Temples in Prayagraj
- Lete Hanuman Mandir: Located near the Sangam, this is the only temple where Lord Hanuman is depicted in a reclining posture.
- Akshayvat: The 'Indestructible Banyan Tree' located within the Patalpuri Temple inside the Allahabad Fort.
- Alopi Devi Mandir: One of the 51 Shaktipeeths, unique because it has no idol, but a wooden palanquin.
