Kumbh at Prayagraj | प्रयाग का इतिहास | Ancient History of Prayag | Ganga | Sangam | Tirth Raj

Описание: In this Chapter 1 of the series on "Kumbh at Prayagraj", we explore the socio-religio-cultural history of Prayag of ancient times. Prayag is the epitome of water symbolism in Indian Culture and is deeply entrenched in every Indian’s conscience. It is a veritable time travel as we knit a coherent tale of this ancient land of ascetics foremost of them being Muni Bharadwaj. We rely on authoritative works by established authors while we  source clues and information from Vedas, Upanishads, Puranas, Treatises on Tirthas, Epigraphic records, Chinese/Muslim/European accounts, Buddhist and Jain Texts and Vernacular literature.
