Sangam: The holy trinity of Ganga, Yamuna and the mythical Saraswati must undoubtedly be the first on this list as Kumbh is all because of this. Prayagraj is all about this. The Prayagraj Kumbh has been held at this river junction for ages.
Bade Hanuman Mandir: This is probably the only temple where Lord Hanuman can be found in a reclining position.
Akshaya Vat, Patal Puri Mandir and Saraswati Koop: Set within the fort Akbar built on the banks of Yamuna, this is another important religious place. Saraswati Koop is believed to be the last of the remains of river Saraswati.
Sri Adi Shankara Vimana Mandapam: This is an important landmark in the vast floodplains of Sangam. Standing out from the remaining of the building in terms of architecture, this is the tallest structure one can see in the area.
One District One Product: This is an initiative to showcase the cottage industry of Uttar Pradesh. One prominent product from each district has been promoted here. ODOP is located at Sector 1/Parade ground near the triangular park, Chungi.
Namami Ganga: What can be a better place than Kumbh to educate people regarding the importance of the river and its protection. This camp set just beside the ODOP complex hosts several important pieces of information regarding the initiatives being taken under the Namami Gange program. Desks by the Wildlife Institute of India have been set up to create awareness about the non-human species dependent on Ganga. Apart from WII, CSIR-NEERI and Ganga Task Force desks have also been set up.
India Post: The postal department is hosting a philatelic exhibition on the theme of Gandhi.
Pustak Kumbh: Book exhibition cum sale set up in sector 1.
Sanskrit Gram: 17 galleries showcasing the different periods of India right from the Harappan civilization to the Indian independence movement. A perfect place to know and/or brush up your knowledge about Indian history.
Kala gram: If ODOP was to promote artisans from Uttar Pradesh, this zone in sector 19 is for the rest of India. In collaboration with the zonal cultural centres, handicrafts from different corners of India have been exhibited at the Kala gram.
VIP Ghat: This is the place for your official selfie.
