Prayag
Raj is a ancient name of Allahabad that means a place of Sacrifice. Allahabad
(Prayag) is a unique place because of confluence (sangam). Confluence (Sangam)
a place where more than one river meets to each other. Why Allahabad is a
unique place? Because of three holy rivers the Ganga, the Yamuna and the
subterranean Sarasvati meet to each other, so any one who takes bath here at the point of
confluence is considered it will bring auspiciousness to the life and this is also end
point of the Yamuna.
From Allahabad to bay of Bengal (place where the ganga
meet in ocean) only the ganga go ahead.

The
banks of both rivers are so huge, so when millions of people come to Allahabad,
all they easily adjust and the chance of accident is very low. The arrangement are
organised in such a way that easily control the unexpected crowd.
