Prayagraj to be promoted as 'City of Temple Corridors'
The New Indian Express Sambalpur
|August 21, 2025
The initiative, driven by the Uttar Pradesh government, seeks to restore and highlight the city's temple heritage.
Prayagraj, formerly known as Allahabad, has long held a unique place in India's cultural imagination. Situated at the sacred Triveni Sangam — the confluence of the Ganga, Yamuna and the mythical Saraswati — the city has been a site of pilgrimage for centuries, drawing millions during the Kumbh Mela. Now, with plans to brand it as the 'City of Temple Corridors,' Prayagraj is preparing to step further into the spotlight as a spiritual tourism destination.
