Prayagraj
The city of Prayagraj (formerly known as Allahabad) in Uttar Pradesh is a major Hindu pilgrimage destination, situated beside the sacred sangam, the confluence of three holy rivers – Ganga, Yamuna, and the mysterious Saraswati. Prayagraj is one of the four holy cities that host the Kumbh Mela, the world’s largest human gathering. It draws devotees, holy men, visitors, and photographers from all over the world. During the Maha Kumbh, which takes place every 12 years at sangam, and the Kumbh, which takes place every six years, millions of people flock to the city.
Lord Brahma, according to Hindu legend, picked an area of land on which to perform Prakrishta Yajna (a fire ritual). He chose the spot where the three holy rivers — the Ganga, Yamuna, and Saraswati – converged. As a result of the gods’ blessing, the city was given the name Teerthraj or Prayag.
Allahabad is regarded as one of India’s holiest cities and a designated location for the performance of Pind Daan. Pind Daan is a path to Mukti, or liberation from the cycle of birth, death, and reincarnation.
The Hindu ceremony for the deceased and ancestors has continued since. Lord Brahma first performed it. The performance of Pind Daan during the Ashwin fortnight is crucial. Pind, a circular ball consisting of rice flour, oats, honey, milk, and sesame seeds, is used in Hindu religious tribute for the dearly dead. During the event, pinds are offered, one of which is specifically offered to the deceased’s soul by Hindu priests. The remaining balls are distributed according to the wishes of the family performing the procedure.
Prayagraj’s Asthi Visarjan is well-known around the world. Devotees believe that the Hindu gods descend as people and wash at this sacred spot to atone for their misdeeds, according to Hindu custom. Every year, thousands of Hindu worshippers go to the holy city of Prayag, also known as Allahabad.
They travel from all across India and the world to bathe in these sacred waters. Many people visit the rivers to immerse and disperse their loved ones’ ashes and bones in the Hindu rite of Asthi Visarjan. The Triveni Sangam, or “confluence” of three rivers, is located in Prayagraj. Sangama is the Sanskrit word for confluence.
The confluence of the three rivers is considered a holy site in Hinduism. A bath at this place of confluence removes sins and frees one from the cycle of reincarnation. Indian families who wish to give their dearly departed loved ones a befitting Hindu final rite for the deceased have turned to Asthi Visarjan at Triveni Sangam.
