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.
In the Hindu religious and philosophical tradition, Maghi Purnima is a date of profound significance.
The Maghi Purnima bathing also marks the conclusion of the month-long Kalpvas, during which devotees engage in worship, aarti, and charitable acts.
