Prayag Mahotsav

Mankameshwar means God of fulfillment of wishes and the Mankameshwar temple of Allahabad was made to do just that. The legend of the temple is that when Sita Maa bathed in the Sangam and wished to pray to Lord Shiva, there was no Lord Shiva temple nearby the Sangam. Lord Shri Ram built a new temple for her, thus fulfilling her wish. This was the fulfillment of wish, which lead to the naming of this temple as Mankameshwar. Even now it is believed that honest wishes made in this temple are fulfilled.
The temple is located at 2 km distance from the Sangam, on the banks of river Yamuna. The temple can be visited all round the year and the timings are 6 AM to 9 PM
