The divinity of the mahasamagam of Maha Kumbh 2025 in Teerthraj Prayagraj continues to grow, attracting dignitaries from across the country who consider themselves blessed to take a holy dip in the sacred waters.

On Sunday, Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari joined this spiritual tradition, expressing his joy after bathing in the Triveni Sangam along with his wife and family.

Upon arriving at Prayagraj airport, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath warmly welcomed Gadkari and honoured him with a shawl. Following this, Gadkari proceeded to Triveni Sangam, where he took the holy dip and offered prayers with his family. His deep sense of fulfillment was evident, as his face radiated happiness after the sacred dip.

Impressed by the meticulous arrangements made for the Maha Kumbh 2025, Gadkari lauded the efforts of the Yogi government and the local administration. He acknowledged the massive scale of the event and emphasised that organising such an event seamlessly is no easy feat.

“The Uttar Pradesh government and local administration have put in immense hard work, which is clearly visible. This is why people from across the country are excited to visit this mahasamagam and witness the unprecedented arrangements made here,” Gadkari said.

Gadkari expressed Maha Kumbh mahaparv as a sacred festival that embodies the faith of the entire nation. He noted that thousands of devotees from his hometown, Nagpur, had also traveled to Prayagraj in their vehicles, drawn by the spiritual significance of the event.

“I pray that everyone receives the blessings of Maa Ganga. May there be universal welfare and prosperity for all,” he said after sipping the holy Ganga water. He also greeted the massive crowd of devotees gathered at the ghats for their ritual baths.

Accompanying Gadkari during this spiritual journey were UP’s Industrial Development Minister Nand Gopal Gupta ‘Nandi’ and Transport Minister Dayashankar Singh.

To share his spiritual experience with the world, Gadkari posted pictures and videos of his bath and prayers on various social media platforms, including Instagram, Facebook and X.

On social media, he wrote: “Prayagraj... Har Har Gange! Today, I had the privilege of bathing and offering prayers at the holy Sangam during Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj. I received the blessings of the sacred Maa Ganga.”

He also posted a video of his meeting with Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, expressing gratitude for the warm reception at Prayagraj airport.
