The Indian Coffee House in Civil Lines is not just a cafe; it is an institution. With its high ceilings and waiters in turbaned uniforms, it retains a colonial-era charm. For decades, it has been the meeting place for the city's intelligentsia, lawyers, and politicians.
Order a tray of coffee (served with separate milk and sugar pots) and a plate of butter toast or vegetable cutlets, and soak in the atmosphere of heated debates and relaxed conversations.
The sacred confluence of the Ganga, Yamuna, and mythical Saraswati. The distinct colors of the rivers are visible where they meet mid-stream.
A massive fort built by Emperor Akbar in 1583 on the banks of the confluence. It houses the immortal 'Akshaya Vat' tree and the Patalpuri Temple.
The historic ancestral home of the Nehru-Gandhi family. A pilgrimage site for those interested in India's freedom struggle.
