Prayagraj, formerly known as Allahabad, is a significant city in Uttar Pradesh that comes from its position at the Sangam (union) of three holy rivers: Yamuna, Ganga, and Saraswati, making it a holy place for Hindus. Despite being one of the most crowded cities in the state, it is also one of the fastest-growing and third most civilized. It is recognized as the 'Prime Minister Capital of India', as seven of the fifteen Prime Ministers of India are from the city. Furthermore, it comprises the Prayagraj High Court, which influences the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. It was recognized in 1869, making it one of the first high courts in the country to be established. Besides this, Prayagraj is also known worldwide for its education system, values, and tourism.
