Mahakumbh 2025: Many saints and mahants are seen in the ongoing Mahakumbh in Prayagraj. Devotees are reaching the camp of saints and mahants after dipping in the Sangam. A crowd of devotees is seen at all the bathing ghats, including the Sangam area—a crowd has gathered in the Sangam South area since dawn.

Due to the bathing program of the Sant Samaj’s akharas, the fair administration found handling the crowd of devotees challenging. A crowd of devotees broke into the Sangam area to take photos and selfies with the saints. Due to the barricading, devotees were somehow seen taking selfies with the saints with their smartphones.

At the same time, flowers are also being showered on the devotees while blessing the devotees riding on the chariots. Devotees are reaching large numbers to see the saints skilled in Hatha Yoga.
