Ganganatha Jha Campus, Central Sanskrit University, Prayagraj

Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, India

NAMAMI label: "Allahabad Sanskrit Sansthan". Identified as the manuscript library of the former Ganganatha Jha Research Institute, taken over by the Rashtriya Sanskrit Sansthan in 1971 (now Central Sanskrit University). No other Sanskrit institution in Prayagraj holds a collection of this size, but NAMAMI does not name it; identification to verify. The campus site counts 56,475 manuscripts. Map point is Chandrashekhar Azad Park, where the campus stands; the building itself is not in OpenStreetMap.
