Mahakumbh a spectacle of unity

DESCRIBING the Mahakumbh-2025 as a "Maha yagna" of unity, PM Narendra Modi on Friday extended his best wishes for the religious congregation, saying it would take the country's cultural and spiritual identity to newer heights.

Addressing a gathering on the mela premises in Prayagraj, he said the Mahakumbh would not only provide social strength but economic empowerment as well. He described Mahakumbh as a spectacle of unity where inequality in all shapes and forms meet their end. He said the congregation was so grand that it would be discussed across the globe.

The Mahakumbh-2025 will take off with first 'snan' (bathing) on the day of 'Paush Poornima', which will fall on January 13. It will culminate with 'royal bathing' in Maha Shivratri on February 26 at Prayagraj. The Mahakumbh is organised every 12 years.
