Did you know the Dark History of Company Bagh from 1857 Uprising?
In 1858, once a home to thousands of village dwellers ‘Company Bagh’ was carved out on the ruins of two erstwhile villages: Samdabad and Sultanpur Bhava that were burnt down in the holocaust of 1857. The two villages were severely deserted after General James Neill, the infamous “Butcher of Allahabad” and Major General Henry Havelock quashed the uprising while hanging most of the villagers (Meo or Mewati community) to death. Today the Park now exists with the then ruins of the 1857 holocaust i.e. a demolished mosque, a wrecked gateway, the graves of the dead and the evil canons of destruction. The history’s horrific character can easily be traced while visiting to the site of the episode; where lies a fallen dome right beside the broken arch that was busted by the cannon shot. At the site one would also get the glimpse of shattered walls and a huge Mughal style gateway (ruined) to the one-time mosque. Hundreds of graves are scattered around the park area as it took several days for the carts to carry the carcasses of the people who died in the carnage of 1857 while remaining were buried in their respective villages of ‘Samdabad’ and ‘Sultanpur Bhava’. "Blowing from the Gun" was the method that was used by the British troops to execute the rebels of 1857 insurrection. The guns used in the massacre are now centerpieces of attraction to the visitors of the park.

Prayagraj a.k.a. Allahabad is also home to major faiths - sects and particularly; Zoroastrianism, Sikhism, Christianity and Islam.
The city is also referred to as 'Teerthraj Prayag' (or King of Pilgrimage Centers). While in Hinduism, Triveni Sangam is a place where one attains Moksha, the city also has a fire temple of the Parsi Community (Zoroastrians) called ‘Dar-E-Meher’ (1928) and is one among the two temples in the state.
We have the 'Gurudwara Pakki Sangat' of the Sikh community in Chowk neighborhood. It was here, Guru Gobind Singh ji (the tenth & final Sikh Guru) was conceived by Mata Gujari and was visited by the Guru himself in the 17th century. The place also finds its name in the autobiography of Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji called ‘Apanikatha’.

Interestingly, Prayag is also the only city to have Three Shaktipeeths in India. The temples; Alopin Devi, Lalita Devi and Kalyani Devi are scattered in different directions of the city, where at Alopin Devi (disappeared goddess) we see no idol of any deity, rather there is a wooden carriage or 'doli' which is worshipped.
