Over 62.25 lakh devotees participated in the sacred Amrit Snan at Triveni Sangam in Prayagraj on Basant Panchami during the Maha Kumbh 2025. Following a deadly stampede on January 29, Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath enforced a "zero error" directive for safety. Saints and akhadas led processions at dawn for the ceremonial dip. Security was heightened, with 3,000 CCTV cameras monitoring 25 sectors. Over 34.97 crore pilgrims have attended so far. With a five crore turnout expected on Monday, authorities remain vigilant. The next major bathing dates are February 12 and 26, marking the culmination of the grand event.
