President Droupadi Murmu, the First Citizen of India, is set to visit the sacred land of Prayagraj to take a holy dip in Sangam on Monday.
During her visit, which will last over eight hours, President Murmu will experience the Maha Kumbh’s grandeur and spiritual significance. She will also offer prayers at the revered Akshayavat and Bade Hanuman temple.
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath will also be present on this occasion.
President Murmu will begin her day at the Sangam Nose, where she will take a ceremonial dip at the Triveni Sangam, reinforcing the deep-rooted faith in Sanatan dharma. It may be mentioned here that the country’s first President Dr Rajendra Prasad, had also taken a holy dip during the Maha Kumbh in the past.
President Murmu will then visit the sacred Akshayavat tree, which is considered a symbol of immortality in Sanatan culture, and offer her prayers. The site holds great significance in Hinduism and is mentioned in ancient scriptures.
She will also visit the Bade Hanuman temple, where she will pray for the well-being and prosperity of the nation.
Supporting the initiative of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath to integrate religious events with modern technology, President Murmu will visit the Digital Mahakumbh Experience Centre.
This centre provides detailed information about the Maha Kumbh Mela through advanced digital tools, allowing devotees from India and abroad to experience the grandeur of the event more closely.
President Murmu is scheduled to leave Prayagraj for New Delhi in the evening. In light of the president’s visit, strict security arrangements have been put in place across the city.
Her visit will be a historic and inspiring moment, not just for Prayagraj but for devotees across the country. It will enhance the religious, cultural and spiritual significance of Maha Kumbh.
