Prayagraj, formerly and colloquially known as Allahabad, is the English name of a city in the north Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. PrayÄga (Sanskrit for "place of sacrifice") is believed to be the spot where Brahma offered his first sacrifice after creating the world. It is one of four sites of the Kumbh Mela (Hindu pilgrimage). The city has a strong position of importance in the Hindu religion and mythology, since it is situated at the confluence of the holy rivers Ganga and Yamuna, as well as the invisible Sarasvati River which is believed to join the other two according to Hindu beliefs.
