Yogi govt showers flowers on devotees during Snan Parv at Maha Kumbh

Prayagraj, Jan 13 (UNI) On Paush Purnima Snan, the first ‘Snan Parv’ of Maha Kumbh, the Uttar Pradesh government arranged a grand flower shower from a helicopter for devotees who gathered
to take a holy dip at the Sangam on Monday.
Rose petals were showered on devotees bathing at all ghats and Akhadas. The mesmerising sight of rose petals raining down filled the devotees with joy and devotion, prompting them to chant 'Jai Shri Ram' in unison.
Under the directives of the Yogi government, the Horticulture Department had been meticulously preparing for flower showers on devotees during the bathing festivals of the Maha Kaumbh Mela. Special arrangements were made to procure rose petals for this purpose, ensuring a grand display
of devotion and celebration.
For each bathing festival, around 20 quintals of rose petals are planned to be showered. On Monday, during the first bathing festival, Paush Purnima Snan, devotees were greeted with a stunning flower shower, adding to the spiritual fervor of the occasion.
While helicopters showered flowers on devotees participating in the Maha Kumbh bathing festival, robust security measures were simultaneously in place to ensure a smooth and safe event.
Security agencies, stationed across the fairgrounds, kept a vigilant eye on the occasion through aerial surveillance.
Senior police and administrative officers remained actively involved, continuously monitoring the arrangements to maintain order and ensure the well-being of the devotees.
