New Delhi, Jan 22 (NationPress) The magnificent Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj has now entered its tenth day, with the major bathing festival, Mauni Amavasya, just around the corner.
As the significant day draws near, the excitement among devotees continues to grow. Daily, lakhs of pilgrims are flocking to the ghats of the sacred Ganga, aiming to receive blessings for prosperity and wellness through a sacred dip.
Suman, a visitor at the Dashashwamedh Ghat, remarked, "This ghat holds immense significance as it is believed that Lord Brahma performed a yajna here. Bathing at this ghat is profoundly auspicious. I am thankful for the excellent arrangements made by PM Modi and the Yogi government this time. I hope such amenities remain available permanently."
Umesh Chand Verma echoed similar views, stating, "The arrangements are extraordinary. The spiritual importance of this ghat cannot be overstated. I pray that Modiji and Yogiji continue to lead with such commitment," he added.
Prominent priest Pramod Kumar Dwivedi shared insights about the ghat’s importance: "Bathing here grants liberation, and offering this water to Lord Shiva is equivalent to making a thousand such offerings elsewhere. The government has enhanced the experience with permanent bathing ghats."
The Sangam of the Ganga, Yamuna, and the mythical Saraswati symbolizes the faith of millions of devotees adhering to Sanatan Dharma. Remarkably, even without official invitations or announcements, individuals from distant areas are arriving to participate in this divine occasion. The distinctiveness of this Maha Kumbh, occurring after a gap of 144 years, heightens the fervor.
Devotees visiting the Veni Madhav Temple stressed its significance in completing the Prayag Yatra. Puni Pathak, a frequent visitor, noted, "I have been coming here for a year. A dip in the Ganga feels incomplete without visiting Madhav Ji for darshan."
Sunita Shukla, a pilgrim for 12 years, added, "This temple holds immense importance, especially during this Maha Kumbh after 144 years. A visit here completes the holy bath and the Prayag pilgrimage."
With such profound faith and unparalleled arrangements, this Maha Kumbh remains a testament to the spiritual unity and devotion of millions.
