Maha Kumbh: 16 mn take holy dip
Financial Express Kolkata|January 14, 2025
THE FOG WAS thick, the cold intense and the waters freezing as the Maha Kumbh, the world's largest gathering, began on Monday with over 16.5 million people taking a dip in the Sangam in their quest for 'moksha' and the belief it will wash away their sins.
- PRESS TRUST OF INDIA Mahakumbh Nagar (UP), January 13

Spirituality and astrology, culture and religion, tradition and modern-day technology, it all fused into one in the confluence of the Ganga, Yamuna and the mythical Saraswati in Prayagraj.

More than 400 million people, many from abroad, are expected over 45 days in the mela being held after 12 years. Besides, seers claim the celestial permutations and combinations for the event are taking place after 144 years, making the occasion even more auspicious for the faithful.

And so it was that a sea of people converged in Prayagraj for the fabled Maha Kumbh. Ash smeared sadhus from their abode in the Himalayas, the religious from across the country and abroad and those just curious to take in the sights and sounds of the biggest religious spectacle of all, the Maha Kumbh beckoned them all.

Director Information Shishir said that more than 16.5 million pilgrims took bath on Paush Poornima.

"Devotees are still taking holy dip and bathing is still going on, and there is a long queue of devotees measuring approximately two kilometres at the Hanuman temple waiting to have a darshan," he said.

He added said on January 11, around 3.33 million pilgrims took a dip and the number reached around 5 million lakh the next day.
