President Droupadi Murmu took a holy dip in the Triveni Sangam this morning during her visit to the Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj.
Her visit comes just over a week after a tragic stampede claimed the lives of approximately 30 devotees during the auspicious Mouni Amavasya.
The Sangam is believed to be the confluence of the sacred rivers Ganga, Yamuna, and the mythical Saraswati, holding great significance in Hinduism. Earlier, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah also took a dip in the Sangam as part of the ongoing Maha Kumbh festivities.
President Murmu will spend over eight hours in Prayagraj, a city renowned for its spiritual importance. During her visit, she is expected to offer prayers at the prominent Bade Hanuman Temple, seeking blessings for the nation’s prosperity and well-being. Additionally, she will offer prayers at the sacred Akshayavat tree.
