Drive into the banks. Take a boat. The boatman will show the spot where Ganga, Yamuna and Saraswati meet. Take a dip and rid yourself of sins. Early mornings or late evenings are preferred. SUVs are better than small cars.

Anand Bhavan has always been a source of curiosity to me, ever since I read Nehru's Discovery of India and his Letters to Daughter. It has its own place in the independence movement of the country. So visited it with reverence and excitement. It is maintained quite well, tells some stories of the bygone era. Location of Planetarium within the campus made our visit doubly useful. It also reflected the scientific temper of Nehru. To see the places in this building which changed the destiny of country was hair-raising experience.

The park bears a huge effigy of George V and Victoria installed at the centre of the park.

All Saints Cathedral is commonly called Pattar Girija.It is situated in Allahabad. The ambience of the church is very serene and relaxing; hence one can be assured of immense internal peace and a sense of deep calmness once they are inside the temple. The fact that the church is located right in the middle of the Allahabad city makes it easy for you to cover other tourist places that are in the vicinity of the church.

According to Jagadguru Adi Shankaracharya s stotram, "Prayage Madhaveswari", this is one of the 18 shakti peetas ,, it is locally known as Alopi Devi temple. Alopi means the one disappeaed. Strangely here no idol is present but in the centre a square with water hole is seen over which a wooden cradle decorated with silk and zari clothes red in color is worshipped. They say last part of Sathi devi s body parts fell here. Tuesdays are crowded and Navarathri festival draws thousands of devotees.
Last time when we visited Prayage ,we could not find this place. Instead we visited !Lalitha devi temple. This time we kept on enquiring till we find this temple.
