NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday described the upcoming 'Maha Kumbh' as the "Maha Kumbh of unity," as he asked people to return from the grand religious congregation with a resolve to banish hate and division from the society.
Speaking in his monthly Mann ki Baat broadcast, Modi said, "Maha Kumbh ka sandesh ek ho pura desh (Message from the Maha Kumbh should be that the entire country must be united)." He added, "Ganga ki aviral dhara, na bante samaj hamara" (Like the uninterrupted flow of Ganga, let our society remain one).
Noting the diversity of people visiting the mammoth congregation, which will be held in Prayagraj from January 13, he said there is no other example of such a sight of unity in diversity.
"Maha Kumbh's speciality lies not just in its vastness but also in its diversity," he said.
The mega-religious event is held every 12 years.
