A look at the city information booklet reveals interesting facts about Allahabad. Historically known as Prayag, the city is a Hindu pilgrimage site located in Uttar Pradesh. Lord Brahma had once performed the Prakrista Yajna here. That is how it received the name, Prayag.

Allahabad is also called Tirtha-Raja, or "king of all the holy places." The Mahakumbh Mela, held at the Sangam every 12 years, is one of the biggest tourist attractions all over the world. Sangam, the confluence of rivers Ganga, Yamuna and Saraswati makes for a beholding sight. Other tourist attractions in Allahabad include the Allahabad Fort near Sangam. The fort, built by Mughal emperor Akbar, is an excellent showcase of medieval India's architecture and art.
