He performed the traditional rituals with offerings of rice, flowers, fruits, and a red cloth at the confluence.
Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath had welcomed the PM on his arrival in Prayagraj. The administration said that despite Modi’s visit, devotees continued their bathing rituals at the Sangam. The city, however, was on high alert due to security reasons.
Top Points
• Why Was February 5 Chosen For PM Modi’s Holy Dip? While traditionally auspicious days like Basant Panchami and Mauni Amavasya are commonly chosen for holy baths during the Kumbh, February 5 stands out for its unique spiritual importance. This date coincides with Magh Ashtami, an auspicious day in the Hindu calendar known for its significance in penance, devotion, and acts of charity.
• PM Narendra Modi had visited the 2019 kumbh mela as well. He had then taken a holy dip and washed the feet of sanitation workers.
