Prayag

Prayag is a term used in India to refer to a sacred confluence of rivers, most famously at the point where the Ganges, Yamuna, and the mythical Saraswati meet in the city of Prayagraj (formerly Allahabad). This site is highly revered in Hindu tradition, especially during the Kumbh Mela festival, when millions gather to bathe in the holy waters, believing it cleansing their sins and blessing them spiritually. The confluence symbolizes purification, spiritual renewal, and the merging of divine energies, making it a spiritually significant location for pilgrims and devotees.
