Prayagraj (formerly Allahabad) is a city in Uttar Pradesh at the sacred confluence (Sangam) of the Ganges, Yamuna, and the mythical Saraswati rivers, home to approximately 3 million people. Like all Indian cities, it operates on Indian Standard Time (IST, UTC+5:30). Prayagraj holds the Kumbh Mela — the largest peaceful gathering of humans in world history. The Kumbh Mela is a Hindu pilgrimage held every 12 years (Maha Kumbh) at this sacred river confluence; the 2019 gathering attracted an estimated 240 million visitors over 49 days — more people than visited any single location in human history. The city was renamed from Allahabad to Prayagraj in 2018, reclaiming its ancient Hindu name. Allahabad was the birthplace of India's first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru and his family, who lived at Anand Bhavan — now a museum. The Allahabad High Court, established in 1866, is one of India's highest courts and the largest high court building in the world by floor area.
