New Yamuna Bridge
Established in 2004, the newly designed cable-stayed New Yamuna Bridge over the river Yamuna was built to minimise traffic flow on the Old Naini Bridge in Allahabad. Also known as the Naini Bridge, it runs from northern to southern Allahabad connecting it to the neighbourhood of Naina. Running over 1510 metres, the bridge is supported by cables to its deck.
The New Yamuna Bridge is one of the first six-lane bridges in India built with modern structure and design. It acts as a link between Allahabad and NH-27 which stretches for almost 370 metres. For the best views, visit the New Yamuna Bridge during dusk when it is lit dazzlingly. To have a sweeping view of the Sangam, visiting during dawn is ideal. During the Magh Mela and Kumbh Mela, you can see the tented cities stretch for miles from this bridge.

Triveni Sangam
One of the holiest places in Central India, Triveni Sangam is located about 7 kilometres away from Civil Lines in Allahabad (Prayagraj). It is the meeting point of three rivers - Ganga, Yamuna, and Saraswati (which is a mythical river, supposed to have dried up more than 4,000 years ago). It is one of the places where the Kumbh Mela is held once every 12 years. The exact date of the Mela is determined according to the Hindu calendar i.e. the Panchanga.
All three rivers Ganga, Yamuna, and Saraswati are highly revered rivers in Indian mythology, and hence the confluence point of these rivers hold tremendous religious importance. According to Hindu mythology, taking a bath in the holy Triveni Sangam is supposed to flush away all the sins and free you from the cycle of rebirth. Moreover, the Sangam itself is a beautiful and peaceful place to visit. The brownish Ganga meeting the slightly greenish Yamuna is indeed a sight to behold. If you take a boat ride to the gently flowing waters of Ganga and Yamuna, you'll be able to make out the difference in colours of water from the two rivers. There are also makeshift wooden banks made at the Sangam. Hence, devotees who want can take a bath right at the confluence point. The water is clean enough at the Triveni Sangam for a bath, especially during the winters; and also not very deep, so it is fun to take a dip in the water here.
