As the auspicious day approaches, the enthusiasm among devotees is increasing. Every day, lakhs of pilgrims are thronging the ghats of the sacred Ganga, seeking blessings for prosperity and well-being through a holy dip.

Suman, a pilgrim at the Dashashwamedh Ghat, said, "This ghat holds immense significance as it is believed that Lord Brahma performed a yajna here. Bathing at this ghat is very auspicious. I am grateful for the excellent arrangements made by PM Modi and the Yogi government this time. I hope such facilities remain in place forever."

Umesh Chand Verma echoed similar sentiments. "The arrangements are remarkable. This ghat’s spiritual importance cannot be overstated. I pray that Modiji and Yogiji continue to lead with such dedication," he added.

Prominent priest Pramod Kumar Dwivedi shared insights about the ghat’s significance: "Bathing here grants liberation, and offering this water to Lord Shiva is equivalent to making a thousand such offerings elsewhere. The government have enhanced the experience with permanent bathing ghats."

The Sangam of the Ganga, Yamuna, and the mythical Saraswati is not merely a meeting of three rivers but symbolises the faith of millions of devotees adhering to Sanatan Dharma. Remarkably, even without formal invitations or announcements, people from far-off regions are arriving to partake in this divine event. The uniqueness of this Maha Kumbh, held after a gap of 144 years, adds to the fervour.

Devotees visiting the Veni Madhav Temple emphasised its importance in completing the Prayag Yatra. Puni Pathak, a regular visitor, remarked, "I have been coming here for a year. A dip in the Ganga feels incomplete without visiting Madhav Ji for darshan."

Sunita Shukla, a pilgrim for 12 years, added, "This temple holds immense significance, especially during this Maha Kumbh after 144 years. A visit here completes the holy bath and the Prayag pilgrimage."

With such deep faith and unparalleled arrangements, this Maha Kumbh continues to be a testament to the spiritual unity and devotion of millions.
