Epilogue: Allahabad is now Prayagraj. A walk across town is worth it

Allahabad, now Prayagraj, is quite a nice place for a stroll across town during the Kumbh Mela months.

It’s a dusty town like any other in the heartland states. There is some history, many old buildings from the time of the British, and a large church in the town centre. Except for the Kumbh Mela, it’s an unremarkable place for the regular tourist, unless you like long walks. If you do, you will have a great time. Go take a walk.

Thanks for reading. I am out of here now.

See Rush's entire four-part Kumbh Mela series: part 1, part 2, part 3 and part 4.

Special thanks to Kanchan Villa, a homestay run by a wonderful couple at Lukerganj, Prayagraj.
