A 166-member Chhattisgarh delegation, led by Governor Ramen Deka, Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai, and Speaker Dr Raman Singh, visited Maha Kumbh 2025 in Prayagraj on Thursday, along with several opposition MLAs.
Chhattisgarh CM Vishnu Deo Sai expressed gratitude to Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath for organising the “divine and grand” Maha Kumbh.
Along with taking a dip in Triveni Sangam, he prayed for the welfare and prosperity of the people of Chhattisgarh. Later, Sai visited the Chhattisgarh Mandap in Sector 7 to check on the well-being of devotees from his state and review the arrangements made for them.
Vishnu Deo Sai, accompanied by his wife Kaushalya Sai, Governor Ramen Deka, Assembly Speaker Raman Singh, MPs, and MLAs, reached Arail Ghat for the holy bath. The entire delegation took a dip in the Sangam together.
Sai expressed his gratitude to CM Yogi Adityanath, saying, “Today, the governor, MLAs, MPs, and my entire cabinet have come to take this sacred dip of faith. We are deeply thankful to Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath for inviting us to this divine event.”
Following the holy bath, CM shared his experience on social media, writing, “Today, I took a dip in the Triveni Sangam at Tirthraj Prayag, seeking the happiness, prosperity, and well-being of three crore people of Chhattisgarh. Mahakumbh is a grand festival of divinity and spiritual energy in Sanatan Dharma, where faith transforms into nectar and unites the soul with the divine.”
In a subsequent post, CM Sai reflected on the significance of Kumbh, stating, “Kumbh is a source of energy, a flow of humanity, a beacon of spiritual consciousness, and a path to self-illumination. It is the confluence of all cultures in the universe, harmonising nature and human life. Mahakumbh embodies the sacred confluence of rivers, forests, and the wisdom of ancient sages.”
Kaushalya Sai also shared her spiritual experience, saying, “We sought the blessings of Maa Ganga and prayed to the divine rivers Ganga, Yamuna, and Saraswati for the happiness and prosperity of Chhattisgarh.”
Chhattisgarh Assembly Speaker Dr Raman Singh emphasised the privilege of participating in the Maha Kumbh, saying, “It is a matter of great fortune for Chhattisgarh that under the leadership of our chief minister, we along with the governor, ruling party MLAs, and even opposition MLAs have come together to take this sacred bath. Maha Kumbh is a blessing for the peace, prosperity, and well-being of our state. Only the truly fortunate get the opportunity to take part in this holy event, which occurs once every 144 years.”
Meanwhile, Tripura Chief Minister Dr Manik Saha also took a holy dip in the Triveni Sangam along with his family on Thursday, seeking divine blessings. After the bath, Saha shared his experience on his official social media handle, writing, “Today, I had the privilege of taking a holy dip at Mahakumbh, Prayagraj. The sacred waters, divine energy, and spiritual ambience made this an unforgettable experience.”
He further expressed that witnessing the deep faith of crores of devotees and experiencing the spiritual energy of Maha Kumbh 2025 was truly special. Saha stated that he prayed to Maa Ganga for the prosperity and peace of Tripura. He emphasised that the holy dip in Sangam purifies life and grants spiritual tranquillity.
