Minto Park, Prayagraj (Allahabad)

Minto Park, better known as the Madan Mohan Malviya park, is a public park located in Allahabad. Earl Canning, in 1858, read out Queen Victoria’s proclamation at this very park, making it one of the most historically significant places to see in Allahabad. According to this historical proclamation, the power over India was shifted from the hands of the British East India Company to the Crown of Britain.
