Today, January 13, marks the beginning of the 45-day-long Maha Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj, a major religious gathering for Hindus. On this day, known as Paush Purnima, thousands of devotees arrived at the Triveni Sangam, the sacred confluence of the Ganga, Yamuna, and the mystical Saraswati rivers. The holy dip in these rivers is believed to wash away sins and bring spiritual blessings. The Maha Kumbh Mela, held once every 12 years, attracts millions of pilgrims from across the country and even abroad. It is a significant event for Hindus, who gather to take part in rituals, prayers, and processions, making it one of the largest religious gatherings in the world.
