Prayaga Kumbhmela (Allhabad) photos

These are the photos taken at Prayaga at the time of Kumbhmela. Prayaga is one of the 18 Shaktipeethas present in India. Madhaveswari devi or Alopi mata is the main diety here. Triveni Sangam is the major attraction in Allahabad. Allahabad Kumbhmela is more beautiful in evening times because of wonderful arrangements of lighting in mela grounds.Other arrangements in Kumbhmela area like Barricades, Q lines, and police security are good.
