About
The Mankameshwar Temple at the banks of the Yamuna in Prayagraj is one of the oldest and most revered Shiva temples in the region. The deity is believed to fulfil all wishes (mana = wish, kameshwara = lord), drawing enormous crowds.
Prayagraj, the confluence of the Ganga, Yamuna, and mythical Saraswati rivers, is one of Hinduism's holiest cities. The annual Magh Mela and the 12-yearly Kumbh Mela here are the largest religious gatherings on earth.
