About Allahabad, UP, India
Allahabad is the locus of spiritual wisdom, site of the Kumbha Mela, and the refuge of saints and sages from the dawn of time. Here the holy rivers Ganga, Yamuna, and Sarasvati meet, and the streams of devotion, knowledge and intuition intermingle. Replete with sites of significance in the history of yoga, Allahabad is full of surprises and delights. The Ganga, on whose banks we will study, is one of the most beautiful and revered rivers in the world, worshipped by millions as a living Goddess.
About Banaras, UP, India
The city of eternal light and famous destination of pilgrims, Banaras is one of the oldest and holiest cities in the world. Some say it exists on the horns of Lord Shiva's trident, and not in this world. An array of startling extremes and stark contrasts, Banaras is a world unto itself.
