Amidst the cold wave and dense fog, on the third day of Mahakumbh, lakhs of devotees gathered at Triveni Sangam in Prayagraj to take part in the bath. During the Makar Sankranti festival yesterday, crores of people also took part in Amrit Snan. Uttar Pradesh government said that more than one crore devotees took part in the holy bath at Sangam.
The state information department stressed that the message of “unity and Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam” (the world is one family) was given on the first day of the 2025 Maha Kumbh Mela.
Let us tell you that on the first day of this Mahakumbh, which is considered to be the largest gathering of humans on earth, more than 50 million devotees took a holy dip in two days. During the first Amrit Snan of Maha Kumbh 2025 on Makar Sankranti on Tuesday, the Uttar Pradesh government led by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath organized a grand flower shower from helicopters in which rose petals were showered on lakhs of devotees on the banks of Sangam.
Flowers were showered on all the ghats and akharas. The devotees were overwhelmed by the rain of rose petals and chanted Jai Shri Ram and Har Har Mahadev.
CM Yogi described Mahakumbh as a symbol of the immense power and faith of Sanatan Dharma. He wrote, “On the day of the first Amrit Snan, more than three and a half crore revered saints and devotees earned the virtue of bathing in the unbroken and holy Triveni Sangam.”
