How I went:

I traveled Allahabad by gangakaveri express from Chennai.

I checked in at hotel Milan in leader road very near main station. Rs 5 by cycle rickshaw. Triveni sangam is a place very near dara ganj station that comes before Allahabad say 6 km before. Most people who were familiar with the place got down at this place. I got down only at Allahabad. After checking into the hotel I took a cycle rickshaw to dara ganj which cost me Rs.30. It takes about 25 mts to reach. Thre are also share autos plying at Rs.10. The day I landed was a particularly crowded day. Hence I took a cycle rickshaw. On my way back I came back by share auto. The other thing is I also always like to take in a city at slower pace and cycle rickshaw gives you a better view of the city in toto.


I went to dara ganj police station. From there shiv mutt is very near.The numbers are given below. I took directions from them and walked 2 km to triveni sangam and took a boat only for myself for Rs 200(was a very crowded mararsankranthi amavasya day). I am told only Rs.50 is the charge on a normal day. There is a platform on which the boat docks where you can have a dip and normally do a small pooja for Rs.50 at least(some milk and flower offerings for rs.20 and 3 coconuts for rs.10 each.). On my way back visited the temple in fort and sankracharya’rs temple, bada hanuman temple(he is a swayambu below the earth level) and then Vishnu(madhav) temple very near shiv mutt that is supposed to be the teerth lord of triveni sangam.

After this I visited a sakthi peet called alopi mata about 1 km from dara ganj and then went back to hotel.


For any pind dhan/ pooja by priest/panda you may get in touch with shiv mutt at dara ganj very near triveni sangam. Ph no is 0532 -2500799. You can touch with mutt headMr.Sundar Sastry also on his mobile 9935685978. It is a mutt with rooms also and you can stay at low cost.
