Top 5 Places to visit in Uttar Pradesh
An amalgamation of culture and religion is what Uttar Pradesh is all about. Whether it's the site of one of the world's seven wonders, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, or the quintessential Hindu pilgrimage site, Uttar Pradesh celebrates India's demographics at its best. According to a recent study, Uttar Pradesh has one of the highest ranks of tourism in India. Uttar Pradesh is captivating because of its vivid culture and traditions. A place where not only mythology (Mahabharata and Ramayana) is celebrated but also the sites of eminent cuisine and architecture are preserved, which is a source of admiration. 

The current state of Uttar Pradesh has a long and varied history. During the Vedic period, the region was known as Kuru-jana-pradesha and was ruled by the Kuru dynasty. The Mahabharata, India's great epic, is set in this region. The Mahabharata War took place there, and the Hindu god Rama was born there. The region was also ruled by the Nanda and Maurya dynasties. The region was conquered by Chandragupta Maurya in the fourth century BC. The region was then passed down to the Gupta and Harsha dynasties. In the 12th century, the region was conquered by the Muslim Delhi Sultanate. In the 16th century, the Delhi Sultanate was succeeded by the Mughal Empire. In the nineteenth century, the British Raj supplanted the Mughal Empire. The region became a part of the independent Republic of India in 1947. The region was divided into the states of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar in 1950. In the year 2000, Uttar Pradesh was divided into several new states.

Uttar Pradesh has maintained its stature and has left an impression in people's minds that glorifies ancient India. Some of the places you should go are listed below.

Relish the flavour of Lucknow

Also known as the land of Nawabs, Lucknow is the capital of Uttar Pradesh.

The first mention of Lucknow is in the epic Mahabharata, where it is mentioned as one of the seven sacred cities of India. The city was founded in the 16th century by the Mughal Emperor Akbar, who named it after his favourite wife, Lakhnau. Lucknow passed through a period of decline in the 18th century, but was revived in the 19th century by the British, who made it the capital of their province of Awadh (Oudh). Lucknow prospered under British rule, and the city became known for its refined culture and its elegant architecture, including the famous Bara Imambara, the Rumi Darwaza, and the Chota Imambara. The city was also home to a large Muslim community, which played a significant role in the development of Urdu poetry and culture.

Not only that, the city is home to several renowned educational agglomerates. The Lucknow University, Allahabad University, the Central Drug Research Institute, and the Indian Institute of Management are some to name. The city is also noted for its cuisine, which is a blend of Awadhi, Mughlai, and North Indian styles.

Learn about mythical Allahabad

Another striking and historical city in Uttar Pradesh, Allahabad is one of the holiest places in Hinduism. The reason being, the city is witness to the Ganges River, India’s longest, flowing through Allahabad. It is a major tourist destination and is home to the Triveni Sangam, the confluence of the Ganges, Yamuna, and Sarasvati rivers.

The city of Allahabad was founded by the Mughal Emperor Akbar in 1575. It was known as Illahabas at that time. He named it after Allah. Allahabad was the capital of the Mughal Empire from 1585 to 1605. It was also the capital of the North-Western Provinces from 1858 to 1902.

The city witnesses the popular Kumbh Mela, a large Hindu festival that takes place every three years, in which Hindus from around the world gather to bathe in a sacred river. The festival is said to cleanse the soul and bring good luck. Legend has it that the festival was inspired by a story in Hindu scriptures in which a group of demigods known as the "Nagas" (snakes) challenged the gods to a competition to see who could gather the most sacred water from the Ganges River. The gods triumphed, but a large amount of water spilled from their urn, forming four sacred rivers: the Ganges, Yamuna, Sarasvati, and the mythical river of the underworld, Saraswati. The Kumbh Mela festival is held to commemorate the gods' victory and the formation of these sacred rivers. The festival is said to be the world's largest religious gathering, with over 100 million pilgrims attending each year.

Nonetheless, the city is home to the Allahabad Fort and the Alfred Park, which includes the Allahabad Museum. The city is also an academic hub, with Allahabad University, Mahatma Gandhi Kashi Vidyapith, and the Indian Institute of Technology Allahabad all located in Allahabad.
