With over 35 million devotees taking a holy dip in the Sangam on Tuesday on the occasion of the first Amrit Snan on Makar Sankranti, the grand and spiritually significant Prayagraj Mahakumbh 2025 continues to witness an overwhelming turnout of devotees.

The Paush Purnima and Makar Sankranti bathing festivals concluded smoothly. On Monday, the Paush Purnima bath concluded peacefully, while on Tuesday, during the Amrit Snan of Makar Sankranti, over 3.5 crore devotees took a holy dip in the sacred waters of the Sangam.

On Paush Purnima, the Mela authorities claimed that 1.65 crore pilgrims took a dip in the Sangam, bringing the total number of devotees who bathed over two days to 5.15 crore.

CM Yogi has been closely monitoring the event from Gorakhpur, ensuring every aspect of the arrangements is meticulously managed.

Shelved Knowledge

Independent India did not consciously ratify Macaulay's contempt; it did something less dramatic and more durable. It allowed the colonial syllabus to survive by inertia.
