According to official data from the UP government, over 1.98 million pilgrims visited the Maha Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj by 10 AM on Saturday.

Maha Kumbh 2025 began with a powerful display of faith, devotion, and spiritual unity, marking a rare event seen once in 144 years.

PM Modi hailed the commencement of Maha Kumbh 2025, describing it as a 'very special day' for millions cherishing Indian culture and values.

Prayagraj, under CM Yogi Adityanath, has become a spiritual hub, with Shaivite, Vaishnav, and Udasin Akharas uniting in chants.

Prayagraj will host the Kumbh Mahaparv entry and consecration ceremony on Sunday, marking the gathering's start.

Over the past nine days, over 1.82 lakh pilgrims visited the holy cave shrine of Amarnath, braving challenging weather conditions.
