A large number of devotees gathered at Ramghat in Prayagraj on Friday evening to take part in the sacred 'Sandhya Aarti,' a ritual dedicated to the holy river Ganga. The ritual, led by women, included the performance of the 'Ganga Aarti' at the Triveni Sangam.
Union Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal took a sacred dip in the Triveni Sangam on Friday, as the Maha Kumbh festivities in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, continue to inspire spiritual fervour among devotees from around the world.
The ongoing Mahakumbh-2025 in Prayagraj has witnessed an unprecedented turnout of devotees, with over 10 crore people taking a holy dip at the sacred confluence of Ganga, Yamuna, and the mythical Saraswati, since January the commencement of the mega spiritual event.
Addressing a public rally here, CM Yogi said, "...If as a Chief Minister, my ministers and I can take a dip in the Sangam in Prayagraj, then I want to ask the president of Aam Aadmi Party in Delhi, Arvind Kejriwal, can he go and take a bath in Yamuna with his ministers?..."
"A meeting of the cabinet was held here in Prayagraj Mahakumbh. Big decisions have been taken here. Preparations for 2031 Ardha Kumbh have also started here in Mahakumbh 2025. I cannot express the feeling after taking a holy dip here," Deputy CM Maurya told ANI.
Despite cold conditions, a large congregation of devotees gathered at the Triveni Sangam in Prayagraj on Wednesday to take a dip in the ongoing Mahakumbh.
The cabinet meeting will be held at the Triveni Sankul in Arail, starting noon. The location was changed to avoid inconvenience to pilgrims visiting the Sangam.
