Traditionally, today is the most significant of all the scared bathing days at the Kumbh Mela.
Lakhs of devotees are at the Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj for the second `Shahi Snan` or auspicious dip on `Mauni Amavasya`. Traditionally, today is the most significant of all the scared bathing days at the Kumbh. From the railway station to the makeshift township of Kumbh Nagari, there is continuous movement of devotees as the loudspeaker guides them towards the bathing ghats.
There would be over three crore people expected at the Kumbh for `Mauni Amavasya`, which is a new moon day in the Hindu calendar of Magha month. And it assumes greater significance if it falls on a Monday, which is case this year. It is believed that on this day, sage Rishabh Dev broke his long vow of silence and bathed in the holy waters.
Security has been tightened in Kumbh for this auspicious festival. The entire area has been divided into 10 zones and 25 sectors, which are being monitored by an Additional Superintendent of Police level officer. Over 40 police stations and as many fire stations have been set up in the Kumbh Nagari to deal with any emergency.
This year’s Kumbh witnesses a total of three `Shahi Snans` so far, the first of which took place on Makar Sankranti on January 15, when the Mela started, the second is on Mauni Amavasya and the last one is on February 10, that is, Basant Panchmi.
The Kumbh Mela will end on March 4.
