Modi said that he has interacted with Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath in this regard and he is constantly in touch with the state government. On Mauni Amavasya, the most important event of Amrit Snan Mahakumbh is held and about ten crore people are expected to take a dip in the Ganges.
This year, after 144 years, a rare astronomical coincidence called ‘Triveni Yoga’ is becoming further increasing the spiritual significance of this day.
After midnight, at around two o’clock in the Kumbh Mela area, the voices of loudspeakers resonating with loudspeakers and the continuous pronunciation of shlokas echoed after a stampede, running towards the confluence and loud sirens of police vehicles echoed.
The injured were taken to the Central Hospital in the fair area. Relatives of many injured also reached there, as well as some senior administrative and police officers.
Triveni Sangam – Sangam of Ganga, Yamuna and Saraswati – is considered the most sacred by Hindus. It is believed that during the Mahakumbh and especially on special bathing dates like Mauni Amavasya, taking a dip in it causes people’s sins and gives them salvation.
