Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has been diligently overseeing the 'Amrit Snan' during the Basant Panchami celebrations.

Starting from 3:30 am, the Chief Minister has been receiving updates and issuing instructions to the Director General of Police (DGP), Principal Secretary Home, and other officials from the Chief Minister’s Office at the war room of his official residence, as stated by the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister's Office (CMO).

DIG Maha Kumbh, Vaibhav Krishna, provided insights into the arrangements, saying, "The arrangements are very nice, and today our crowd control measures are well in place. The snan of all Akharas has concluded successfully. Mahanirvani Akhara, Niranjani Akhara, and Juna Akhara have successfully done their snan, and other Akharas will also take part in the snan successfully."

The Maha Kumbh Mela, an iconic event drawing millions of devotees, is crucial to the region, and ensuring the smooth execution of the 'Amrit Snan' is a top priority for the state government.

The holy dip is performed by various Akharas, significant for their spiritual and ritualistic roles, as part of the auspicious Basant Panchami festivities.

Over 12.5 million devotees participated in the third and final Shahi Snan of the Mahakumbh by 12 pm on Monday, celebrating Basant Panchami.

By 8 am, 6.2 million had already bathed in the Triveni Sangam, achieving a significant milestone. To mark the auspicious occasion, flower petals were showered from a helicopter as part of the Basant Panchami festivities.

The sacred ritual, starting with Naga Sadhus taking their plunge at the ghats, is part of the ongoing Maha Kumbh 2025 in Prayagraj.

"Amrit Snan started on the Ghats by Naga Sadhus. With faith and devotion, the banks of Triveni are witnessing the ancient Indian culture and traditions," stated the Maha Kumbh administration in a post on X.

According to the Uttar Pradesh Information Department, as of February 3, over 340 million (34 crore) devotees have participated in the sacred ritual since the commencement of the Maha Kumbh Mela on January 13.

Additionally, the number of Kalpwasis—devotees observing spiritual austerities for a month—has surpassed 1 million, further contributing to the growing spiritual fervor surrounding the event.
