Allahabad (i/əˈlɑːhəbɑːd/), also known as Prayag (/prəˈjɑːɡ/) and Ilahabad, is a city in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh and the administrative headquarters of Allahabad District, the most-populous district in the state. As of 2011, Allahabad is the seventh most-populous city in the state, fifteenth in the Northern India and thirty-sixth in India, with an estimated population of 1.11 million in the city and 1.21 million in its metropolitan region. In 2011 it was ranked the world's 130th fastest-growing city. Allahabad, in 2013, was ranked the third most livable city in the state (after Noida and Lucknow) and twenty-ninth in the country.
The city's original name – Prayaga, or "place of offerings" – comes from its position at the Sangam (confluence) of the Ganga, Yamuna and mythical Sarasvati rivers. It is the second-oldest city in India, and plays a central role in Hindu scriptures. Allahabad was originally called Kaushambi (now a separate district) by the Kuru rulers of Hastinapur, who developed it as their capital. Since then, Allahabad has been a political, cultural and administrative centre of the Doab region. Mughal emperor Akbar renamed it Ilahabad, which the British changed to Allahabad. In 1833 it became the seat of the Ceded and Conquered Provinces region before its capital was moved to Agra in 1835. Allahabad became the capital of the North-Western Provinces in 1858, and was the capital of India for a day. The city was the capital of the United Provinces from 1902 to 1920 and remained at the forefront of national importance during the struggle for Indian independence.

Wild Frontiers' Jonny Bealby presents a guide to Calcutta and the Northeast of India. As far as Wild Frontiers is concerned Calcutta and the Northeast is a region that comprises pretty much anything east of Delhi, running along the Ganges flood plain to Calcutta and beyond to the borders of Bangladesh, Burma and Bhutan. If most travellers coming to India head west out of Delhi to Rajasthan, most that don't head east down the Ganges to Varanasi. Most of these travel by air or rail directly to Varanasi but if you are of an adventurous disposition there are many interesting places to stop off at along the route, such as Rishikesh -- where the Beatles stayed and wrote the famous White Album -- or Lucknow, a beautiful city packed with fabulous Moghul architecture. In fact if you're lookin...

Tham Gayi Ye Hawa, Chand Bhi Chuup Gaya
Raat Ki Dehashat Ka Hai Nahi Khaatma
Dil Me Jo Hai Khumaar, Dil Ka Hai Intjaar
Khoj Hai Manjil Kaha, Rehgujar Do Bataa
Lakho Milenge Sapane, Bhule Paraye Apane
Dekho Hum Chal Diye Kahaa
Karane Duniya Ko Hasil, Dene Kwaboko Majil
Akhir Aa Gaye Hum Yahaa
Samane Hai Manjar, Aasama Ke Upar
Niche Hai Saara Jahaa
Haar Ke Jitenge, Marakebhi Jiyenge
Yaad Aayenge Sadaa
Hey Ye Ye ....
Raho Ke Saare Patthar Raho Se Hat Gaye Haskar
Woh Bhi Ga Rahein Wahi Jubaan
Karane Duniya Ko Haasil Dene Khaabon Ko Manjil
Aakhir Aa Gaye Hum Yahaan
Kehati Hai Jo Dhadkan Sun Le Ai Hamkadam
Phir Badlega Yeh Jahaan
Gujengi Aawaajein Jannaton Se Upar
Usase Se Bhi Aage Hai Jaana
Hey Ye Ye ....
(Ulajhe Raaste Honge Apane Raahon Mein
Hosh Hai Hamein Hai Karana Jo Bhi Kar Sake) (2)
Samane Hai Manjar, Aasama Ke Upar
Niche Hai Saara Jahaan
Gunjegi Aawaajein Jannaton Se Upar
Usase Se Bhi Aage Hai Jaana
Hey Ye Ye ....
