Over 20 Million Devotees Participate in Maghi Purnima Bathing Ritual at Mahakumbh 2025

The sacred bathing event at Prayagraj's Triveni Sangam marks the conclusion of the month-long Kalpavas spiritual practice.

Maghi Purnima, the fifth major bathing day of Mahakumbh 2025, drew over 20 million devotees to the Triveni Sangam in Prayagraj by Wednesday evening.
The event concludes the month-long Kalpavas, a spiritual tradition involving fasting, self-discipline, and introspection for nearly 1 million participants.
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath monitored the arrangements closely, ensuring smooth crowd management and traffic flow across the city.
The Mela administration implemented extensive measures, including a 'no vehicle zone,' real-time traffic updates, and 1,200 shuttle buses for devotees' convenience.
Maghi Purnima is one of the final key bathing days of the Mahakumbh, which began in January and will culminate on February 26 with the Maha Shivratri Snan.
