New Delhi: Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar is scheduled to visit the Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj today, accompanied by his wife, Sudesh Dhankhar.

They will partake in a holy dip at the Triveni Sangam, marking an important moment in their spiritual journey. This visit is part of the grand Maha Kumbh festivities, which attract millions of devotees globally.

The Vice President is expected to arrive in Prayagraj around 2:15 p.m. Alongside him, diplomats from 73 countries will also participate in the event.

A special flight has been arranged for the Vice President, while another has been organized for the diplomats. Upon landing, the diplomats will proceed directly to Sangam from Bamrauli Airport to take their holy dip in the sacred confluence of the Ganga, Yamuna, and the mythical Saraswati River.

Vice President Dhankhar expressed his appreciation for the invitation from Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, stating he would take the holy dip with his family and reaffirm his commitment to serving the nation with dedication. He also commended Uttar Pradesh’s significant contributions to India’s development and praised the progress made under Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s leadership.

Meanwhile, a large influx of devotees arrives daily for the sacred dip during the Maha Kumbh 2025. To ensure the safety and well-being of all pilgrims, the Yogi government has implemented strict measures to prevent disruptions during this period.

The state government has banned VIP protocols on ‘Amrit Snan’ days and other major bathing festivals following a tragic stampede at the Sangam that resulted in the deaths of 30 devotees and injuries to 60 others.

In line with CM Yogi’s vision, the administration aims to provide a smooth experience for all pilgrims by enforcing this policy. No VIP privileges will be permitted on crucial bathing days or surrounding dates, ensuring that devotees can participate in the holy rituals without facing inconveniences from VIP movements or route changes.

This policy has been communicated well in advance, and the government is committed to its strict enforcement during the event.
