Prayagraj is a city at the confluence of the Ganges, Yamuna, and the mythological Saraswati rivers. This confluence, called the Triveni Sangam, is the reason the city has been a pilgrimage center for over 2,000 years. Prayagraj is also the site of the Kumbh Mela — the largest human gathering on earth.
