Location: With a population of 9, 90,298, Allahabad is one of the holiest cities of India and a prominent centre for culture, administration, and education. The city, situated in Uttar Pradesh, at a distance of 238 km from the state capital Lucknow, is especially sacred for the Hindus, as it is the place of the confluence of three rivers - the Ganges, Yamuna, and the mythical Saraswati. This confluence is better known as Sangam.
Fairs & Festivals:
Kumbh Mela: The greatest of North Indian festivals and fairs, Kumbh Mela is held once every three years by rotation, on the banks of holy rivers - the Godavari in Nasik, the Shipra in Ujjain, the Ganges in Hardwar and the Sangam in Allahabad. The Purna (complete) Kumbh, the biggest and the most auspicious fair, which falls once every twelve years, is always at Allahabad, followed by the Ardh (half) Kumbh which falls every six years. When the particular configuration of the Kumbh at Allahabad falls on a Monday, it is termed as Somvati Amavasya and the spiritual benefits are considered to augment manifold.
Magh Mela: This particular fair is celebrated in the month of February.
