However, Prayagraj is the confluence of three rivers, Ganga, Yamuna and Saraswati. Mughal emperor Akbar was greatly impressed by the religious and cultural heritage of Prayagraj.

He performed Shanti Puja here for the peace of the souls of his ancestors. For this reason this ghat was called Dashashwamedh Ghat.
