President Droupadi Murmu's Visit to the Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj

President Droupadi Murmu recently embarked on a spiritual journey to the holy city of Prayagraj, where she participated in the Maha Kumbh – the world's largest spiritual and cultural gathering.

Upon her arrival, Uttar Pradesh Governor Anandiben Patel and Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath warmly welcomed President Murmu. As a gesture of goodwill, they presented gifts to the President and her family, showcasing products from the One District, One Product (ODOP) initiative.

The President's first stop was the Bade Hanuman temple, where the visit was conducted by Balbir Giri, the temple's mahant and Peethadheeshwar of Baghambari Peeth. At the temple, President Murmu prayed for the country's well-being and prosperity.

Before the President, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had also accompanied the Maha Kumbh event in Mahakumbh Nagar. The Maha Kumbh, which started on January 13, is a gathering of faith and belief that conveys the message of unity and spirituality to humanity. It will continue until Maha Shivratri on February 26.

During her visit, President Murmu also took a holy dip at the Triveni Sangam, the confluence of the Ganga, Yamuna, and the mythical Saraswati rivers. Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath informed the President that the green water she saw was from the Yamuna, and the yellow-colored water was from the Ganga.

On her way to the Sangam, President Murmu fed grains to migratory Siberian birds. She also visited the Digital Mahakumbh Experience Centre, which uses advanced technology to provide detailed insights into the Maha Kumbh.

At the Sangam, President Murmu performed the traditional "Dugdhabhishek" and an "aarti". She also offered prayers at the Akshayavat, a revered site in Sanatan culture symbolizing immortality. President Murmu shared pictures of her at the Sangam, performing rituals and offering prayers.

President Murmu also visited the Saraswati Koop, a sacred well associated with Maa Saraswati. She offered a coconut to the Ganga river and prayers to the Sun god. Her family accompanied her during her sacred moment at the Sangam.

The Maha Kumbh is a living symbol of India's rich cultural heritage, attracting devotees from across the globe. As the President immersed herself in the spiritual atmosphere of the Maha Kumbh, she added another memorable chapter to India's cultural legacy.
