It is said that the benefits of bathing in Prayagraj Kumbh are obtained only when one visits the Akshayvat tree located there. There is an ancient fort on the banks of Sangam, in which this Akshayvat is located.
During this Kumbh, when Azam Khan was a minister, 42 people were killed in a stampede at the railway station of Prayagraj. This accident happened on February 10, 2013. This day was Mauni Amavasya and lakhs of devotees had come to Prayagraj to take a bath in the Ganga that day.
Religious leaders believe that Kumbh Mela is ancient. It did not start from a single event but its tradition evolved along with human civilisation. This event is a heritage of humanity, in which there is a wonderful amalgamation of religion, culture and society.
Yogi Aditynath on Sunday said that the government has set a deadline of December 15 to provide all the facilities to the devotees participating in the Mahakumbh Mela 2025 in Prayagraj
The IIT Kanpur professor said that since the election rallies and the Kumbh are held in open spaces, there are few chances of it spreading the COVID virus
