Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, India

A large metropolitan city, Allahabad -also known as Prayag or Prayagraj- is located in the southern part of Uttar Pradesh in northeastern India. It is a beautiful and important city for Hindus, as it was built near the point where two sacred rivers, the Ganges and the Yamuna, meet. Because of this, the city is a major tourist spot and one of the most popular destinations for local pilgrims, especially during traditional Indian holidays and festivals.

Prayagraj is located about 225 miles east of Patna, 125 miles southeast of Lucknow, 320 miles southeast of Agra, and 400 miles southeast of New Delhi. The city lies in the lowlands south of the Himalayas, with an average elevation of around 300 feet. It is one of the fastest-developing cities in the region and covers a total area of about 32 square miles.

The city is well known for its temples, mosques, architectural monuments, parks, and memorials, which are found throughout the area. One of its most important landmarks is Prayagraj Fort, located in the central part of the city. Built in the 16th century, the fort is a massive structure made of red sandstone. It stands near the confluence of the two rivers and offers beautiful views of the green riverbanks and the surrounding neighborhoods.
