Chandrashekhar Azad Park - Prayagraj:

Chandrashekhar Azad Park is one of the most famous tourist destinations in Prayagraj (Uttar Pradesh). It is situated at the center of the city in a huge area. A big statue of Shahid Chandrashekhar Azad is there which is a nice picture point.

The tree which was used as a protective shield for Chandrashekhar Azad is still there. Even if the tree has lost its greenery, yet you can feel its greatness. Our Chandrashekhar Azad was fighting his last battle with Angrej for independence behind this tree.

This is an ideal place for a half-day visit and I am sure you will love it not just because of its greenery but its historical importance.
