One Day Trip to Allahabad – Religious Places in Allahabad (Prayagraj)

Whether it is a one-day or a one-week trip, Allahabad is the best place to visit. Now known as Prayagraj, Allahabad is one of the oldest cities in India. It’s a sacred place of worship and is very serene and peaceful. You get to witness the world’s biggest festival, the Kumbh Mela, which happens once every 12 years. The place is worthwhile and you should give it a chance.

Here’s what your Allahabad tour package should consist of:

• The place considered to be the most sacred in all of India is Triveni Sangam. It’s a point of confluence of the three rivers: Ganga, Yamuna, and Saraswati. It is very busy, especially during the Kumbh Mela. People come here from all over the world, to wash away their sins. Go ahead and book a pilgrimage tour package that has this pleasant place on the list.

• Allahabad (Prayagraj) Fort was built by the great emperor Ashoka, but it was repaired by the Mughal Emperor Akbar in 1583, from which point on, it became one of the most important structures of the Mughal Empire. A section of the fort is open to the public and it serves as a highly popular tourist attraction.

• Now that you’re in the area, go and visit the Hanuman Mandir, located near the Allahabad Fort. Here, tourists can witness a huge idol of Lord Hanuman, which are 20 feet long and 8 feet wide. A fun fact about this temple is that it gets submerged underwater when the river Ganga is in full flow.

• Known for its North Indian and Mughlai cuisines, Allahabad is a foodie’s heaven. The best food you can get is in Eat On. It’s a small restaurant, which attracts a huge crowd, especially during the evening. This is because they serve the best biryanis and kebabs in the entire city. Are you ready to eat your heart out?

• The Prayagraj (Allahabad) yatra package should end with a little visit to the Anand Bhavan, home to our former Prime Minister, Mr. Jawaharlal Nehru. It has since been turned into a historic museum, focusing on the Nehru family. You can learn all about three of the most powerful leaders of our country, who belong to this family.
