my experience of allahabad-1
The city of Allahabad is much more than I actually thought.
Mughar emperor Akbar renamed the city of Prayag to allahabad which means 'city of allah (the term for god in islam)', but the name Prayag is still popular among people all over India.
This city is very very historical dating back to the Pauranic period of the Sanaatan religion.
Akbar was so convinced with the mystical nature of this place that he renamed this place.
There is a popular fort built by Akbar besides the 'sangam', the place where the mighty river Ganga(ganges), yamuna and mythological river Saraswati meet.
This Sangam witnesses the huge gathering of people every year specially after a gap of 6 years(ardh-kumbh) and 12years(purn-kumbh or simply kumbh).
As per an estimate, the number of people gathering here at that time is not in lacs but in crores.
My purpose of visit to allahabad was my final semester internship at IFFCO fertilizer plant, Phulpur.
The training department here usually provide industrial training to engineering students for a maximum duration of 2 months, as that is the required criteria for most of the colleges nearby affiliated by UPTU.
But since I got some connections inside, I managed to get a chance for industrial training for 6 months.
The final semester of b.tech in PTU is completely meant for industrial training. So, my training is going on and is expected to end in june.
I'll share more of my experience in days to come. Till then, good bye.:)
