Who are the priests guiding Tarpan rituals in Prayagraj?

The traditional priests who hold the hereditary rights and specialized knowledge for performing rituals at the Triveni Sangam are known as Prayagwal Pandas or simply Prayagwals. They are specific Brahmin sub-castes associated with Prayagraj pilgrimage rites and often maintain centuries-old records (Bahis) of pilgrim families (Jajmans).
