Mahakumbh Nagar, Jan 15 (IANS) The first 'Amrit Snan' of Mahakumbh 2025, on Tuesday, began on the auspicious occasion of Makar Sankranti with crores of devotees expressing satisfaction with the Railways' arrangements for the grand religious and spiritual event.

Saints and devotees took a holy dip at the Triveni Sangam, the sacred confluence of Ganga, Yamuna and mythical Saraswati, in Uttar Pradesh's Prayagraj

Meanwhile, to facilitate the safe travel of devotees, the Railways has announced that several thousands of trains will operate towards and depart from Prayagraj in different states across the country.

Given the Mahakumbh, many special trains will also run across different parts of the country to Prayagraj.

Besides, security arrangements have been made at the entry point of each train.

The devotees coming here in Prayagraj are being managed well by the district administration and the Uttar Pradesh government. Apart from this, those who do not have travel tickets have also been taken care of."

Another visitor, Awadhesh, who came from Bihar's Sitamarhi, told IANS: "He had come here to take the sacred dip ('Amrit Snan') in the Mahakumbh. Now, from here, I have to return to Muzaffarpur (Bihar). The local administration has made good arrangements here, so the devotees are not facing problems."

Another visitor Poonam Giri told IANS: "The Uttar Pradesh government has made good arrangements here in Prayagraj. I felt quite happy, serene and peaceful while coming to Mahakumbh."

On the second day of Mahakumbh, more than 3.5 crore devotees took a dip of faith on the banks of Sangam during 'Amrit Snan' on the occasion of Makar Sankranti.

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath shared this information on social media on Tuesday.
