Triveni Sangam
त्रिवेणी संगम
The Triveni Sangam is the sacred confluence of three rivers — the Ganga (holy), the Yamuna (yamuna) and the invisible Saraswati (believed to flow underground). This is the most sacred bathing spot in Hinduism and the venue of Kumbh Mela, the world's largest human gathering. A dawn boat ride to the confluence, with the mist rising off the water as the sun rises, is an experience that touches the soul.
Allahabad Fort
इलाहाबाद किला
Allahabad Fort is a massive red-stone Mughal fort built by Emperor Akbar in 1583 at the sacred confluence of Ganga and Yamuna. Inside (restricted access) lies the Ashoka Pillar (232 BCE), the Akshayavat (the immortal banyan tree), and the Patalpuri Temple (underground temple) — all of enormous religious significance.
