Mahakumbh Mela 2025: Mahakumbh Mela has begins from today. All the preparations are in place and several devotees have gathered in Prayagraj to take holy bath. The first Amrit Snan of Maha Kumbh 2025 began on the auspicious occasion of Makar Sankranti. First, the saints of Shri Panchayati Akhada Mahanirvani and Atal Akhada took a sacred dip at the Triveni Sangam. Today, the saints of the 13 Akhadas of Sanatan Dharma will sequentially take the Amrit Snan at the Triveni Sangam.

Notably, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has renamed the royal bath as Amrit Snan. This has greatly excited the saints. The Akhadas, accompanied by flags, banners, and band music, have started making their way to the bathing sites. Acharya Mahamandaleshwar and Mandaleshwar are seated on magnificent chariots. With the sound of drums and music, the saints' chariots are moving towards the ghats.
