MAHAKUMBH NAGAR, Feb 5: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday took a holy dip at the Triveni Sangam and said he felt “blessed to be at the Maha Kumbh” where he was “filled with a spirit of devotion”.

“Blessed to be at the Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj. The Snan at the Sangam is a moment of divine connection, and like the crores of others who have taken part in it, I was also filled with a spirit of devotion,” Modi posted on X.
“May Maa Ganga bless all with peace, wisdom, good health and harmony,” he added.
Modi took a boat ride from Arail ghat to the Triveni Sangam, the confluence of Ganga, Yamuna and the mythical Saraswati. He was accompanied by Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.
