'Pushp Varsha' also known as the showering of petals, was done on the devotees and ascetics taking a holy dip in the Triveni Sangam on the occasion of the Magh Purnima on Wednesday during the ongoing Maha Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj.
Two 'Made in India' ALH Dhruv choppers would be used for showering petals during the main Independence Day event at the Red Fort on August 15, for the first time, when Prime Minister Narendra Modi will deliver his tenth straight speech.
