The Maha Kumbh Mela 2025, one of the most significant religious gatherings in the world, is currently underway in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh. Unlike the Poorna Kumbh that occurs every 12 years, the Maha Kumbh is a rare event held once every 144 years, making it a once-in-a-lifetime experience. This year, millions of devotees from across the globe have gathered to take a holy dip in the Triveni Sangam, the sacred confluence of the Ganga, Yamuna, and the mystical Saraswati rivers.
Akshay Kumar Participates in the Sacred Ritual
Joining the spiritual festivities, Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar arrived in Prayagraj early this morning to participate in the Maha Kumbh. Dressed in a simple white kurta-pajama, the actor made his way through the crowd to the riverbank, where he knelt in prayer before stepping into the sacred waters for a shahi snaan. Drenched from head to toe, he greeted fans before exiting the ghat, embodying the devotion and reverence associated with the ritual.
