Even on the occasion of Mauni Amavasya, saints and Naga Sadhus of various Akharas will take a dip at the confluence of Ganga, Yamuna and invisible Saraswati rivers in Prayagraj Mahakumbh. On Makar Sankranti, the administration had fixed a time of 40-40 minutes for bathing in the Akharas. All the Akharas were bathed within the time limit. More than 3.50 crore devotees took a dip in the Mahakumbh on Makar Sankranti. This figure is likely to increase further on Mauni Amavasya. According to the information so far, about 7 crore devotees have taken bath in Prayagraj since the beginning of Mahakumbh. Lakhs of devotees are reaching Prayagraj every day.
