Friends,
My city Allahabad is one of the biggest religious and spiritual centers of India. In ancient times it was called Prayag. One of the unique features about my city is that it is situated at the confluence of three rivers ; Ganga, Yamuna and the mythological , now extinct river Saraswati, hence it is also called Triveni.
We can see the different streams of water meeting each other at the Sangam
( confluence). It is visited by lakhs of devotees every month whose aim is to take a dip in the holy confluence and clean their souls.
In the coming January 2013, my city will be host to the Kumbh Mela, which is the biggest spiritual and religious congregation on earth.
More about it in my next post.
