Maha Kumbh Mela begins this morning
The Maha Kumbh Mela commenced early in the morning on Monday, with over 40 lakh people taking the first dip. Several saints from different Akhadas have gathered at the Sangam for the 45-day event. Over 50 lakh people also took the holy dip on Sunday.
Notably, the current edition of the Kumbh is being held after 12 years, even as seers claim the celestial permutations and combinations for the event are taking place after a gap of 144 years, because of which the occasion has become even more auspicious.
