In a moment steeped in devotion and tradition, Prime Minister Narendra Modi took a holy dip at the Triveni Sangam during the ongoing Maha Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj on Wednesday. Accompanied by Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, the Prime Minister arrived at the confluence of the Ganga, Yamuna, and Saraswati rivers, embracing one of the most sacred rituals in Hinduism.
Dressed in a saffron jacket and rudraksh beads, Modi was seen performing the snan (ritual bath) with solemn reverence. Following the dip, he participated in a grand aarti on a floating platform in the middle of the river, offering milk and flowers to the holy waters.
