The MahaKumbh Mela 2025 began today in Prayagraj in Uttar Pradesh, attracting lakhs of devotees to the sacred Sangam. 

The event, marked by a rare celestial alignment that occurs once every 144 years, started with the ‘Shahi Snan’ on Paush Purnima. An estimated 1.5 crore pilgrims took a holy dip at the confluence of the Ganga, Yamuna, and the mythical Saraswati on the opening day.

The Uttar Pradesh government has implemented extensive measures to manage the influx of devotees, including enhanced security, medical facilities, and infrastructure upgrades. 

With 40-45 crore pilgrims expected over the next 45 days, arrangements have been made to ensure the smooth conduct of rituals and ceremonies.

Chants and prayers reverberated through the venue as people from different walks of life joined the sacred tradition. This iconic festival not only holds religious significance but also highlights India’s cultural and spiritual heritage. 

Meanwhile, the mela offers a platform for showcasing traditions, arts, and collective devotion, drawing visitors and spiritual seekers from across the globe.
