FLOWING WATERS AND FAITH: 1.5 CR TAKE HOLY DIP

The New Indian Express

|

January 14, 2025

Early in the morning at the Kumbh, Vedic chants and Ram bhajans can be heard from every direction, as the faithful, towels on shoulders, make their way to the banks of the Ganga for a holy dip.

- PARAMITA GHOSH

This morning, a light fog sits above the water; by mid-morning, it is all clear as if it were the fog of unreason.

As the first light of dawn broke over the Sangam on Monday, a sea of devotees, undeterred by the chilly breeze and cold waters of the Ganga took the holy dip on 'Paush Purnima', marking the commencement of Maha Kumbh 2025. More than 1.5 crore pilgrims took the dip on Monday, the UP government said.
