Sangam
The sacred Sangam is the confluence of three of the holiest rivers in Hindu mythology - Ganga , Yamuna and the mythical Saraswati. It is believed that it is at the Sangam, that a few drops of the nectar 'Amrit" spilled making its waters truly magical. Around 7 Kms. From Civil Lines, overlooked by the eastern ramparts of the Allahabad fort, wide flood plains and muddy banks protrude towards the sacred Sangam. Pandas (Priests) perch on small platforms to perform puja and assist the devout in their rituals ablutions in the shallow water.
