Being located at the confluence of 3 sacred Indian rivers- Ganga, Yamuna and Saraswati i.e Triveni (the point where these three sacred rivers meet), the city enjoys its prime importance in terms of pilgrimage. The city is considered as the pious city by the Hindus. The Allahabad today is said to be a perfect mix of politically aware and spiritually conscious bunch of people. The city has a rich history to its credit. The city is tagged as the first place where the Aryans are believed to have settled. This city has played a significant role in terms of learning right from the ancient time. The city is an adobe to the best of the institutions.\u00a0 A number of universities operate here for the purpose of imparting higher education to the youth of the country. The remarkable architecture dating back to the British era and the reign of Nawabs is one of the prime factors for a great number of footfall in the city. Every evening, the pooja is performed by the pandas at the Sangam ghat to offer prayer to the river to bless with peace.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #333399;\"><strong>Allahabad Railway station<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_492\" style=\"width: 460px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.travelerfood.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Allahabad-Railway-station.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-492\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-492\" src=\"http:\/\/www.travelerfood.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Allahabad-Railway-station-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Allahabad Railway station\" width=\"450\" height=\"338\" data-id=\"492\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.travelerfood.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Allahabad-Railway-station-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.travelerfood.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Allahabad-Railway-station-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.travelerfood.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Allahabad-Railway-station-110x83.jpg 110w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-492\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>Allahabad Railway station<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Source :\u00a0http:\/\/bit.ly\/1inGR8E<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Allahabad railway station is the headquarter for the North Central railway zone and its rail services connect the city to every nook and corner of the country.
