PM Modi takes holy dip at Sangam

Mahakumbh Nagar: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday took a holy dip at the Triveni Sangam.

On the occasion he said that he felt “blessed to be at the Maha Kumbh.” The prime minister held ‘rudraksh’ beads in his hand during the bathing ritual. He offered prayers to the sun and the Ganga amid the chanting of mantras.

He also shared some pictures of his visit, captioning the post: “The confluence of faith, devotion and spirituality in the divine and grand Maha Kumbh of Prayagraj is overwhelming everyone.”

His trip lasted around 90 minutes during which there was minimal use of the road – barely 3 km in the car. He travelled from Prayagraj airport to a helipad near Sangam in a helicopter and later used motor boat to and fro the confluence of the sacred rivers from Arail Ghat.
