Mahakumbh Nagar (UP): Braving the biting cold, devotees brimming with energy and enthusiasm converged at the Triveni Sangam to take a holy dip at the Maha Kumbh on Wednesday.
Chants of ‘Har Har Mahadev’, ‘Jai Shri Ram’, and ‘Jai Ganga Maiyya’ were heard as the devotees took a dip in the bone-chilling water.
“It was for the first time that I took a dip in Sangam. After taking the dip, I felt refreshed,” said Nibar Chaudhary, a resident of Uttar Pradesh’s Basti district.
On January 14, the seers belonging to various ‘akharas’ took the first ‘Amrit Snan’ at the Maha Kumbh on the occasion of ‘Makar Sankranti’. Around 3.5 crore devotees took a dip at the Triveni Sangam on ‘Makar Sankranti’. The fair would continue till February 26.
