Sadhus to bathe as per initial Mauni Amavasya timing
Hindustan Times Haryana
|February 03, 2025
Ahead of the third and final Amrit Snan of Mahakumbh on Monday, akhadas remained busy with decoration of chariots and palanquins and other preparations for the bathing festival the previous evening.
PRAYAGRAJ:
All mahamandaleshwars of the akhadas plan to participate in the bathing ritual with complete pomp and show.
The Amrit Snan of the akhadas will be held as per the time fixed by the administration for the Mauni Amavasya Snan on January 29, when each of the monastic orders was asked to pre-schedule their bathing by an hour as compared to the first Amrit Snan on Makar Sankranti on January 14.
In view of the stampede on Mauni Amavasya, which as per officials claimed 30 lives and left another 60 injured, the akhadas postponed their bathing rituals and took a symbolic bath later than scheduled in a hugely toned-down affair.
