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.
Besides, tourists coming to Prayagraj Maha Kumbh will now be able to enjoy the panoramic view of Sangam through speed motor boat. This service will start from the first week of January. It will be operated by the Tourism Department from the fort and Arail Ghat. Devotees will go to Sangam by boat, take a bath on the floating jetty there and then return.
