Maha Kumbh 2025 Ends with Final Dip at Prayagraj Sangam

The 45-day Maha Kumbh, one of the world’s largest religious gatherings, concluded today in Prayagraj with the final “Amrit Snan” at Triveni Sangam on Maha Shivratri. A record 63.36 crore devotees participated in the sacred ritual, seeking spiritual purification. Massive security and logistical measures were in place, especially after the January 26 stampede that claimed over 30 lives. Controversies over water quality and political clashes added to the festival’s turbulence. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath dismissed concerns over pollution, while PM Modi criticized opposition remarks. Rooted in Hindu mythology, the Maha Kumbh symbolizes divine blessings and spiritual renewal.
