Allahabad is one of the most sacred cities in India, located at confuence of three  of the most important and sacred rivers, Ganga, Yamuna and Saraswati (only two are visible and scientifically known, third Saraswati is hypothetical under Hindu mythology).

Sangam, as it is popularily known is considered to have great soul-cleaning powers. Almost all Hindus come to Allahabad atleast once in their life time.

One of the major festival here is once in 12 years, the occurance of Kumbh Mela (single largest gathering of Human Being anywhere in the world, as ceritified by the Guiness Book).
