Healthy flows the Ganga again as 'three Gangas' merged into one
Hindustan Times Lucknow|December 19, 2024
If you've seen glimpses/clips of a sea of humanity descending into the waters at the Sangam at previous Magh Melas, Kumbhs and Mahakumbhs, this time you will have to think of another epithet to describe the multitudes that take a bath on the bathing days of Mahakumbh-2025.

MAHAKUMBH NAGAR (PRAYAGRAJ):

The state irrigation department has merged three distinct streams of the Ganga at the Sangam to create a single stream of the ancient river. The development will enhance the bathing experience for millions of pilgrims expected to attend Mahakumbh-2025.

Over the years, the Ganga had changed course, splitting into three streams between Shastri Bridge and Sangam Nose, impacting the quality of the river water, its depth and flow, thereby not only limiting the fair area but also disrupting arrangements being made for pilgrims, officials said.
