Allahabad also known as Prayag is a city in the north Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, situated at the confluence of the Ganges and Yamuna rivers. The ancient name of the city is Praya-ga (Sanskrit for "place of sacrifice") and is believed to be the spot where Brahma offered his first sacrifice after creating the world. It is one of four sites of the Kumbh Mela, the others being Haridwar, Ujjain and Nashik. It has a position of importance in Hinduism and Hindu mythology since it is situated at the confluence, known as Triveni Sangam, of the holy rivers, Ganges and Yamuna, and Hindu belief says that the invisible Sarasvati River joins here also.
It is located in the southern part of the state, and stands at the confluence of the Ganges, and Yamuna rivers. The region was known in antiquity as the Vats country. To its southwest is the Bundelkhand region, to its east and south east is the Bagelkhand region, to its north and northeast is the Awadh region and to its west is the lower doab of which it is a part.
Allahabad stands at a strategic point both geographically and culturally. An important part of the Ganges-Yamuna Doaba region, it is the last point of the Yamuna River and is the last frontier of the Indian west.
The land of the Allahabad district that falls between the Ganges and Yamuna is just like the rest of Doab, fertile but not too moist, which is especially suitable for the cultivation of wheat. The non-doabi parts of the district (which were not originally a part of Allahabad but were added later by the British), the southern and eastern part of the district are somewhat similar to those of adjoining Bundelkhand and Bagelkhand regions, dry and rocky.
The Indian longitude that is associated with Jabalpur, also passes through Allahabad, which is 343 km (213 mi) north of Jabalpur on the same longitude.
Allahabad has an area of about 65 km2 (25 sq mi) and is 98 m above sea level. Languages spoken in and around Allahabad include Hindi, Urdu, Illahabadi (local dialect), and English.
Uttar Pradesh shares an international border with Nepal and is bounded by the Indian states of Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Haryana, Delhi, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand and Bihar. The state can be divided into two distinct hypsographical regions:-
The larger Gangetic Plain in the north: it includes the Ganga-Yamuna Doab; the
Ghaghra plains; the Ganga plains and the Terai. It has highly fertile alluvial
soils and flat topography - (slope 2 m/km) - broken by numerous ponds, lakes and
rivers.
The smaller Vindhya Hills and plateau region in the south. It is characterised
by hard rock strata; varied topography of hills, plains, valleys and plateau;
limited availability of water.
