Uttar Pradesh: Million of devotees are visiting Maha Kumbh everyday, around 2.5 million devotees took part in the holy dip at Triveni Sangam, a sacred confluence of Rivers Ganga, Yamuna and ‘mystical’ Saraswati on Thursday according to the officials on the fourth day of Maha Kumbh. 

According to the figures released by the government authorities over 2.5 million people visited the Maha Kumbh at Prayagraj and took a holy dip at the Sangam, with more than 1 million Kalpvasis and 1.5 million additional pilgrims.

Over 60 million devotees have participated in the world’s biggest religious congregation; over 35 million on the occasion of Makar Sankranti on January 14.

Given the massive influx of pilgrims, the Prayagraj administration established an AI-based computerised lost and found centre.

Sharing details, Additional Mela Adhikari Vivek Chaturvedi  said that an AI-based lost and found centre has been set up. Arrangements are made there for accommodation, clothes and food for the people who are lost. There has not been a single case in which we have not been able to reunite children or lost people with their relatives.

“We have received a good response from the computerised lost and found centre. If there is a case in which we have not been able to reunite a person with his relatives, then the administration takes them to their home at its own expense.”

A 21-member delegation from 10 countries arrived  have also visited Mha Kumbh yesterday  to take a holy dip at Triveni Sangam.

The delegation, invited by the External Publicity and Public Diplomacy Division of the Ministry of External Affairs, Government of India, will take a sacred dip at Triveni Sangam on Thursday.
