Pilgrims take a ritual bath at the Triveni Sangam, the confluence of the Ganga, Yamuna, and the mythological Saraswati rivers, for spiritual purification.

The Shahi Snan, or royal bath, is performed by saints, including Naga sadhus and spiritual leaders, which is considered highly sacred.

The event includes prayers, community singing, spiritual discussions, and the initiation of new recruits into akharas.

Cultural displays and environmental initiatives, like water laser shows and measures under the Namami Gange mission, are part of the festivities.
