Meanwhile, on the occasion of Ekadashi, a large number of devotees arrived at the Sangam Ghat in Prayagraj to take a holy dip during the ongoing Magh Mela. Drone visuals from the Mela show thousands of devotees at the Sangam Ghat, braving the cold and taking the dip.

The Magh Mela of Prayagraj (Uttar Pradesh), which takes place at the divine Triveni Sangam, the place of confluence of the sacred rivers Ganga, Yamuna, and the legendary Saraswati, is one of the largest pilgrimages in India.

The pilgrimage is named after the Hindu month of Magh, which typically falls in January-February.

The Prayag Magh Mela is a 45-day pilgrimage that begins on Paush Purnima (the full moon day of the month of Paush) and ends on Mahashivaratri, spanning the entire month of Magh.

While it's great to see the celebration, I hope the administration is ensuring proper facilities, cleanliness, and safety for the lakhs of devotees. The spiritual experience should not come at the cost of public health or environmental damage to the rivers.

Rajpal Yadav dancing with the pilgrims is the most wholesome thing I've seen today! 😊 It shows how festivals bring everyone together, regardless of status. Triveni Sangam has a magic of its own.

My grandparents used to go every year. The description "the fortune of wandering in this sacred soil" perfectly captures the sentiment. It's more than a mela; it's a journey for the soul.
