More than half of the world's Sanatanis take a holy dip at Triveni Sangam

February 23, 2025

The magnificent and sacred Mahakumbh, underway in Prayagraj since January 13, has made history today.

- STATESMAN NEWS SERVICE

Over 60 crore devotees have taken a holy dip at the Triveni Sangam, showcasing an extraordinary display of religious and cultural unity. This record gathering stands as the largest human participation in any religious, cultural, or social event in history.

With an estimated 120 crore Sanatanis worldwide, this means that more than half of the global Sanatani community has already bathed in the holy confluence, seeking spiritual blessings.

With the massive daily influx of tourists and devotees at Mahakumbh, the total number of pilgrims is expected to surpass 65 crore by the final Shivratri Snan on February 26.

This extraordinary achievement has been made possible by the well-organized efforts of the Yogi Adityanath government, ensuring smooth arrangements for devotees.
