Allahabad Triveni Sangama visit.

As you people know that travelling is my passion and even planning to take it as my profession it was a great opportunity for me to travel a holy place called ALLAHABAD  and increase my knowledge about  a particular destination.

 From Ayodhya i did not get a direct bus to Allahabad So from Ayodhya I had to travel to Faizabad in a shared auto by giving 15 rupees and its 20 KM far by the time i reached Faizabad it was 10 AM . From Faizabad i got a direct bus to Allahabad which almost took 2 hr 50 min  of journey and it was 1 noon when i reached Allahabad. (by bus it costed me 144 rupees) 

As it was afternoon it was too hot, my mobile phone recognized and warned that the temperature was 41 degree C. As it was hot i filled my stomach with 3 glasses of cold juice and started towards TRIVENI SANGAMA which is 18 KM from the railway station. I went to a nearby Auto stand and haired a auto towards the holy place TRIVENI SANGAMA (A PLACE WHERE ALL THREE HOLY RIVERS GANGA, YAMUNA AND SARASWATHI MEET EACH OTHER

As i had some idea that people of  Allahabad may exploit the tourist in many ways, I went in a shared auto like a local-lite  which costed me 25 rupees and helped me reaching  my Holy Destination ALLAHABAD TRIVENI SANGAMA. IT is believed that one can vanish his/her sins by having a holy dip in the sangama. I hardly did't know that i had to travel 20 more KM in the boat to reach the TRIVENI SANGAMA point, it was 2:30 PM, anyway i had time till 9 PM to board my train towards VARANASI so decided to go on a boat to get a holy dip in the sangama, i haired a boat alone for rupees 450, which is also available in sharing basis like, 100 or 150/person. As i was alone haired a separate boat. almost at 3:40 PM i was there in the Sangama with a Poojari (saint) who told me all the important facts of KUMBHAMELA which happened previous year ie,2013.
By conducting a pooja in the Sangama I Returned back at to the shore at 6:15 PM 
I saw a fort near the shore which was closed at that time, I filled my eyes with the beauty of the huge fort from outside and moved forward towards Railway station in a shared auto to catch my train which i had to board at 9 PM to my next Destination  VARANASI (KASHI).
