The third "Amrit Snan," held during the Basant Panchami festival, saw over 12.5 million devotees participate in a holy dip at Triveni Sangam in Uttar Pradesh's Prayagraj. Tight security measures ensured a safe experience for all attendees, including prominent figures such as Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, and celebrities like Coldplay's Chris Martin and actress Dakota Johnson.
Here are the live updates:
Blessed to be at the Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj. The Snan at the Sangam is a moment of divine connection, and like the crores of others who have taken part in it, I was also filled with a spirit of devotion.
