Prez Murmu to take holy dip in Sangam on Feb 10

Prayagraj, Feb 9 (UNI) President Droupadi Murmu is set to visit the sacred land of Prayagraj and take the holy dip in Sangam on Monday.
During her visit, which will last over eight hours, the President will experience the Maha Kumbh's grandeur and spiritual significance. She will also offer prayers at the revered Akshaya Vat and Bade Hanuman Temple. Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath will also be present on this occasion.
President Murmu will begin her day at the Sangam Nose, where she will take a ceremonial dip at the Triveni Sangam, reinforcing the deep-rooted faith in Sanatan Dharma. It may be noted that the country's first President, Dr Rajendra Prasad, had also taken a holy dip during the Maha Kumbh in the past.
The President will then visit the sacred Akshaya Vat tree, which is considered a symbol of immortality in Sanatan culture, and offer her prayers. The site holds great significance in Hinduism and is mentioned in ancient scriptures. She will also visit the Bade Hanuman Temple, where she will pray for the well-being and prosperity of the nation.
Supporting the initiative of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and CM Yogi to integrate religious events with modern technology, Murmu will visit the Digital Maha Kumbh Experience Centre. This centre provides detailed information about the Maha Kumbh Mela through advanced digital tools, allowing devotees from India and abroad to experience the grandeur of the event more closely.
The President is scheduled to leave Prayagraj for New Delhi in the evening. In light of the President's visit, strict security arrangements have been put in place across the city.
Her visit will be a historic and inspiring moment, not just for Prayagraj but for devotees across the country. It will enhance the religious, cultural, and spiritual significance of Maha Kumbh.
