Seeking blessings after completing ancestral rites is customary. Important temples to visit in Prayagraj include:
Bade Hanuman Ji Temple (Leti Hui Hanuman): A unique temple near the Sangam with a large reclining idol of Lord Hanuman, believed to protect Prayagraj.
Alopi Devi Shakti Peeth: A highly revered temple where there is no idol, but a wooden swing (jhula) is worshipped as the manifestation of the Goddess. It’s believed that the last part of Mata Sati fell here.
Mankameshwar Temple: An ancient Shiva temple near Saraswati Ghat.
Nag Vasuki Temple: Dedicated to the Serpent King Vasuki, located in Daraganj. Visiting here is sometimes linked with remedies for Kaal Sarp Dosh.
