Detailed Solution

Prayaga was the old name of the city of Allahabad. It was a vital centre of the Gupta kings. It is also named Sangameshwar because it is located at the confluence of three major rivers: the Ganga, the Yamuna, and the Saraswati. Because of its strategic location, the city is well-known for its commercial and religious centres. As a commercial centre, it is situated on the banks of rivers, facilitating the transit of products via inland waterways. Apart from that, the city is well-known for the Allahabad pillar inscription, which was issued by Samudragupta and authored by Harishena.
