Prayagraj’s Sangam is where the Panchang becomes a mass event: the Magh Mela every year and the Kumbh by planetary conjunction, with snan dates (Mauni Amavasya above all) fixed by tithi. Prayagraj runs about 3 minutes behind the IST meridian, so its Yamaganda Kaal window is unique to the city — never reuse another city's timing.
