Explanation

Allahabad (now officially Prayagraj) is the confluence point of the Ganga and Yamuna rivers. This sacred confluence, called Triveni Sangam (where the invisible Saraswati is also believed to join), is a major pilgrimage site. The city's name literally means 'city of Allah' given by Mughal emperor Akbar.
