On Mauni Amavasya, an important day at the Maha Kumbh Mela, millions of people gathered at the holy confluence of the Ganges, Yamuna, and Saraswati rivers to take a sacred bath. The day started with the Sanyasis, followed by the Bairagis, and finally the Udasi Akhara, marking a significant part of the religious rituals at the Kumbh Mela.
Before Mauni Amavasya, by 12 noon, around 1.88 crore devotees had already bathed in the holy waters, bringing the total number of bathers to 16.67 crore. The Maha Kumbh, held once every 12 years, attracts millions from across the country and the world, seeking spiritual purity and blessings.
At the same time, the second day of Bageshwar Baba Pandit Dhirendra Shastri’s spiritual story was being narrated at Parmarth Niketan. His teachings continue to inspire thousands of people during this time of devotion and faith.
The holy dip on Mauni Amavasya is considered especially auspicious, believed to cleanse the soul and bring peace. The Kumbh Mela is a blend of spirituality, culture, and unity, drawing devotees from various backgrounds to experience this extraordinary event.
