Prayagraj (Triveni Sangam) - The King of All Pilgrimages
Our Services at Prayagraj
Why Triveni Sangam is Called the King of Pilgrimages
The Divine Confluence
Triveni Sangam is the confluence of three sacred rivers:
- Ganga: Representing heaven (Swarga)
- Yamuna – Representing earth (Prithvi)
- Saraswati – Representing the netherworld (Patal), flowing invisibly.
This triple confluence creates unparalleled spiritual power. Scriptures state that bathing here washes away sins from countless lifetimes, and any ritual performed here yields multiplied merit.
The name “Tirthraj” (King of Pilgrimages) isn’t just honorific – it reflects the scriptural declaration that Prayagraj is supreme among all 68 major pilgrimage sites in India.

Scriptural Significance
Prayagraj’s importance is documented across Hindu scriptures:
- Rig Veda: Mentions the sacred confluence
- Matsya Purana: “No pilgrimage equals Prayagraj”
- Padma Purana: Lists specific rituals for the Sangam
- Brahmanda Purana: Describes the triple purification
Lord Brahma himself performed a sacrifice (Yajna) here, giving the city its name “Prayag” (place of sacrifice). The addition of “raj” denotes its supreme status among holy sites.
Unique Aspects of Prayagraj
- Three-River Purification: No other site offers the combined purification of three rivers. Each river addresses different karmic debts. Read about Triveni Sangam here.
- Kumbh & Magh Mela: The famous Kumbh Mela (every 12 years) and annual Magh Mela transform Prayagraj into a massive spiritual gathering. Rituals during these periods carry exceptional merit.
- Year-Round Accessibility: Unlike mountainous pilgrimages, Prayagraj is easily accessible throughout the year with excellent rail, road, and air connectivity.
- Combined Pilgrimage Base: Located between Varanasi (120 km) and Gaya (350 km), Prayagraj serves as an ideal starting point for multi-city pilgrimages. Many families complete their journey: Prayagraj > Varanasi > Gaya.
- Veni Daan Tradition: The unique hair-offering ritual (Veni Daan) is performed here for first-time pilgrims.
