Prayagraj district, Administrative district in Uttar Pradesh, India

Prayagraj district spans across fertile plains at the convergence of the Ganges, Yamuna, and Sarasvati rivers in northern India.

The district underwent multiple administrative changes during British rule, transitioning from the Agra Presidency through the North-Western Provinces to its current structure.

The district hosts the Kumbh Mela religious gathering every twelve years, where millions of people gather at the rivers for ceremonial bathing.

The district contains extensive transportation networks, including major railway junctions, national highways, and an international airport serving the regional population.

Three sacred rivers meet at the Triveni Sangam within the district, forming a geographical junction that holds religious significance for Hindu pilgrims.
