The only confluence of humanity, faith and nature in the world takes place every 6 years in Allahabad now called Prayagraj. In Prayagraj, as the word Kumbh enters one's ears the picturesque vision of Triveni Sangam, the sacred confluence of the Ganga, the Yamuna and the mystical Saraswati flashes in the minds of people. At the sacred confluence, huge multitudes move like waves in the ocean filled with a sense of devotion. 'Shahi Snaan' of Akharas, chanting of Vedic mantras and elucidations of religious hymns in the Saint pandals, proclamations of knowledge, tatvamimansa and truth by rishis, charming music, mesmerising sound of multitudes of instruments, holy dip in Sangam with utmost devotion fills the heart of devotees with immense joy and offering prayers at many divine temples exhibits
