In this Tuesday, January 15, 2019 photo, sadhus, Hindu holy men, take a holy dip at Sangam, the confluence of the rivers Ganges, Yamuna and mythical Saraswati, during the Kumbh Mela festival in Prayagraj, India. The city's Mughal-era name Allahabad was recently changed to Prayagraj by the Hindu nationalist government. The historic city name referred to Muslim Mughal rulers during the 16th century. The new name refers to the confluence of the rivers Ganges, Yamuna and mythical Saraswati, the site of the Hindu Kumbh Mela festival. (Photo by Bernat Armangue/AP Photo)
