A tall south Indian temple near the Sangam, unmistakably not built in the local idiom.
Shankar Viman Mandapam rises near the Sangam in a south Indian Dravidian style that stands out sharply against everything around it. It runs to four storeys.
The shrines are arranged across the levels, and the upper storey gives a view out towards the confluence that is difficult to get elsewhere on foot.
It is a modern temple by the standards of this city, which does nothing to reduce the interest of the architecture.
Riverfront
The confluence of the Ganga, the Yamuna and the mythical Saraswati — the reason the city exists, and the site of the Kumbh.
Heritage
Akbar's fort of 1583, standing at the confluence. Held by the army, so most of it cannot be visited.
Spiritual
The imperishable banyan, held sacred for centuries and enclosed within the fort precinct.
