Gautama Buddha visited Kaushambi. Later, emperor Ashoka made it a provincial centre during the Mauryan era, marked by his monolithic pillars. Rulers like the Sungas, Kushans, and Guptas also left artefacts and inscriptions in the region.</span></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">In the 7th century, Chinese traveller Huien Tsang described Prayagraj as a "great city of idolaters," reflecting its strong Brahminical traditions. Its importance grew under Sher Shah, who built the Grand Trunk Road through the area. In the 16th century, Akbar renamed it ‘Ilahabas,’ turning it into a fortified imperial centre and key pilgrimage site, setting the stage for its modern relevance.</span></p><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Key Landmarks and Spiritual Sites of Prayagraj</span></h3><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Triveni Sangam is where the Ganga, Yamuna, and the mystical Saraswati meet. The Saraswati, unseen, is believed to appear during the Kumbh Mela, symbolising knowledge and wisdom. Devotees visit to cleanse their sins, making it the heart of the Kumbh Mela, a grand celebration of India’s cultural heritage.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Pilgrims visiting Triveni Sangam also explore many revered temples in Prayagraj. The Shri Lete Hue Hanuman Ji Temple in Daraganj, established by Saint Samarth Guru Ramdasji, features idols of Shiva-Parvati, Ganesh, Bhairav, Durga, Kali, and Navgrah. Nearby, the Shri Ram-Janki and Harit Madhava temples add to the spiritual atmosphere.

The Shri Veni Madhav Temple, the most important of Prayagraj's twelve Madhava temples, is essential for completing the Prayag pilgrimage. The Akshayvat Tree and Patalpuri Temple near Allahabad Fort hold deep mythological significance, with the Akshayvat being a sacred fig tree mentioned in Hindu texts. Other notable temples include the Mankameshwar Temple, Dashashwamedha Temple, and Takshakeshwar Nath Temple. The Saraswati Koop is being refurbished for the Maha Kumbh Mela 2025 to preserve its historical and cultural value. The evening Ganga Aarti at Ram Ghat is a captivating ritual honouring the river goddess, performed daily with chants, lamps, and devotion, symbolising the five elements of nature.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Prayagraj is also home to Allahabad University, India’s fourth-oldest university, established on September 23, 1887. Its origins trace back to Muir Central College, founded by Sir William Muir on December 9, 1873. The Public Library of Prayagraj, set up in 1864 and relocated to its current building in 1878, houses rare manuscripts and books. It also hosted the first Legislative Council meeting of the state in 1887, adding to its historical importance.</span></p><h2 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Milestones of Kumbh Mela 2019: A Landmark Event</span></h2><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">The Kumbh Mela 2019 in Prayagraj was a historic event, drawing 24 crore pilgrims.
