Allahabad is set to be rechristened as ‘Prayag’, a long pending demand of sadhus and saints of the Sangam City.
A decision in this regard could be taken before 2019 Kumbh Mela in the holy city where three main rivers flowing across the state namely Ganges, Yamuna, and Sarasvati meet.
The place is also known for hosting Kumbh Mela once in every 12 years.
