Magh Purnima Snan of Mahakumbh underway in Prayagraj

The Magh Purnima Snan of Mahakumbh is underway in Prayagraj. The Snan holds a great relevance as it marks the end of the special ritual of performing Kalpavas, with the grand festival hosting more than 10 lakh Kalpavasis this year.

According to tradition, it is believed that performing Kalpavas on the banks of Sangam till the Magh Purnima yields the fruits of penance of a thousand years. Performing Kalpavas in



Maha Kumbh is considered to be especially fruitful.

The Uttar Pradesh government has implemented a robust security plan with special traffic arrangements.

The Maha Kumbh Mela, recognized as the world’s largest religious gathering, commenced on 13th January. So far more than 46 crore devotees have taken the holy dip in Sangam so far.
