Prayagraj, Feb 10 (UNI) An average of 1.44 crore pilgrims are taking a holy dip daily with Prayagraj witnessing an unparalleled spectacle of faith as Maha Kumbh continues to set new records in religious and cultural gatherings with each passing day.
For 30 days, an unbroken stream of devotees has thronged the sacred Triveni Sangam, where Ganga, Yamuna and the invisible Saraswati converge. The event stands as a powerful testament to the unwavering devotion of Sanatan Dharma followers.
A remarkable surge in the number of devotees has been witnessed on special festival days. On Mauni Amavasya (January 29), a record-breaking 7.64 crore pilgrims took a holy dip, while the previous day (January 28) saw over 4.99 crore devotees at the Sangam. On Makar Sankranti (January 14), 3.50 crore worshippers participated in the sacred ritual.
Even after Mauni Amavasya, the steady stream of devotees continues, with over one crore people arriving daily for the holy bath. The entire Maha Kumbh Nagar is immersed in devotion and spiritual fervor. By February 9, more than 43 crore devotees will have set a historic milestone by taking a dip in the Sangam.
The Yogi government had made extensive preparations in advance for this grand and historic event, ensuring seamless arrangements for bathing and other facilities for devotees. Unprecedented efforts in security, cleanliness and crowd management have played a key role in making Maha Kumbh truly historic.
This magnificent festival of faith has united Sanatan culture enthusiasts not just across India but around the world, strengthening the spiritual and cultural fabric of humanity.
