Prayagraj is the center of faith for people of Hindu religion, because here is Triveni Sangam, that is, here the rivers Ganga-Yamuna and Saraswati meet. Mahakumbh will begin once again after 12 years of 2013, on January 13, 2025, on the day of Paush Purnima. This is considered the largest religious gathering in India, in which devotees come not only from the country but also from abroad and a wonderful confluence of Indian culture with spirituality can be seen here.
