Explanation

Allahabad was officially renamed Prayagraj in 2018 by the Uttar Pradesh government. The name 'Prayag' is derived from the ancient pilgrimage site Prayag, which means 'place of sacrifice' in Sanskrit. The city is located at the confluence of the Ganges, Yamuna, and mythical Saraswati rivers. The name change was part of a broader movement to restore ancient Indian city names.
