Celebrating linguistic harmony
On September 14th, India marks Hindi Diwas to commemorate and promote linguistic harmony and unify our diverse nation through language diversity. Prayagraj stands as an exemplar of how language shapes culture and heritage.
Where legends were born
Prayagraj was home to legendary literary figures who lit up the city with their works of literary literature, leaving a vibrant legacy behind them. Poet Sumitranandan Pant, with verses that flowed like rivers; Harivansh Rai Bachchan who turned emotion into words; and Urdu poet Raghupathi Sahay also known by his pen name Firaq Gorakhpuri still echo around this city; their words still carry with them today, keeping Prayagraj alive through its literary passion alive today.
A temple of knowledge
Since 1887, Prayagraj University has stood as a beacon of knowledge within Prayagraj city limits and across generations alike. Widely considered the "Oxford of the East", its walls have nurtured minds while giving rise to great ideas; all while continuing the city's longstanding legacy of education.
Walking in the Footsteps of Wordsmiths
As you wander the streets of Prayagraj, you follow in the footsteps of poets, writers and scholars - poets like Tagore who once graced its pages or poets like Kabir who once passed through here - you tread upon paths once travelled by poets, writers and scholars like Tagore who once traversed them - hearing their verses echoed throughout its soul; Prayagraj being an epicentre of Hindi literature is not simply another place; rather it takes one into a realm where wisdom meets expression through language while creativity meld seamlessly together to form one harmonious whole.
