Maha Kumbh 2025: Today Marks the Third Amrit Snan at Prayagraj - Akharas Take the Lead in the Sacred Dip
The Maha Kumbh Mela 2025 continues to enchant pilgrims and spiritual figures as the third 'Amrit Snan' unfolds at the revered Triveni Sangam in Prayagraj. This event aligns with Basant Panchami, a day viewed as favorable for spiritual rejuvenation and worship, especially of Goddess Saraswati.
Saint Chinmayanand Bapu praised the careful arrangements, highlighting the day’s spiritual importance for students. He mentioned, “Taking a holy bath today guarantees success.” Likewise, Swami Kailashanand Giri from the Niranjani Akhara acknowledged Uttar Pradesh’s Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath for the smooth planning for the 13 Akharas involved in the bathing ritual.
Akharas Lead Grand Processions
The sacred bathing commenced at 4 am with Sanyasi Sect Akharas, such as Shri Panchayati Akhara Mahanirvani and Shri Panchdashnam Juna Akhara, at the forefront. The Naga sadhus, recognized for their ash-covered bodies and spiritual practices, displayed their distinct rituals and skills with weapons, enriching the occasion with their presence.
By Monday morning, more than 6.22 million pilgrims had participated in the Sangam dip. Authorities project that the total number of bathers, since the Mela's beginning, has surpassed 35 crore and is likely to exceed 50 crore by the event's end. The surge in devotees led the district administration to announce a holiday in Prayagraj to ensure safety and order.
