Mahakumbh Mela 2025 Live: More than 35 million devotees thronged the Triveni Sangam in Uttar Pradesh's Prayagraj to take a holy dip on the occasion of Makar Sankranti on Tuesday.

UP chief minister Yogi Adityanath confirmed the same and posted on X, "Today, on the first Amrit Snan festival, more than 3.50 crore revered saints and devotees earned the holy benefit of bathing in the uninterrupted-clean Triveni."

Covered in ash, Naga Sadhus led most of the akharas (ascetics' sect) to the 'Amrit Snan', with the sea of devotees being mesmerized in their movement in the city.

The grand mela is expected to witness a similar footfall on Wednesday as well.
