“Prayagraj has been completely prepared to welcome people to the Mahakumbh. This time, the Kumbh has been arranged and equipped with technology. We expect more than 45 crore devotees to come to witness the Maha Kumbh. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has spoken to the seers and sages and has given the name ‘Amrit Snan’ to the ‘Shahi Snan.’ Many saints and sages will attend, and we will all be blessed by seeing them,” Rathore said.
