English: Prayag snana vidhi (lit. "guide to bathe at Prayag") and Prayag mahatmya (lit. "glory of Prayag") are chapters found in the Puranas-genre of Sanskrit texts. These describe the legend of sangam (confluence) of three rivers: Ganga, Yamuna and the underground hidden Sarasvati at a place they call Prayag. It has been an ancient site of Magha mela, that grew to be a center of the world's largest Hindu pilgrimage and gathering in January every 12 years in the 19th-century. By early 21st-century, with the convenience of modern transport, an estimated 100 million pilgrims reportedly gathered over 55 days around January for the Kumbh mela.

The "blue highlighted" parts in the top section mention the rivers Ganga, Yamuna and Sarasvati, while the bottom section's highlighted sentence states "this is Prayag Snana Vidhi".
