By late evening, 22 million devotees had taken a dip in the holy waters. The administration had estimated that one to one and a half crore devotees would bathe on Maghi Purnima, but this figure was surpassed by 12:00 PM today.
After bathing in Prayagraj, the flow is now moving towards Kashi. It is estimated that five to six lakh devotees will reach Kashi.
The Shankaracharya is still sitting on a palanquin outside his camp on Triveni Marg at the Magh Mela.
Take a holy dip in Ganga and light diyas on its bank on this pious day to yield spiritual benefit which is a thousand times more than taking a bath in the river on a normal day.
