The date, February 5, holds special significance as per the Hindu calendar. It marks the Ashtami of Gupt Navratri in the Magh month, a period considered highly auspicious for religious practices. Devotees believe that performing rituals during this time brings prosperity and spiritual blessings.
The Mahakumbh, known as one of the largest religious gatherings in the world, draws millions of devotees seeking purification and blessings. PM Modi’s participation in the event underscores the cultural and spiritual significance of the occasion. His Ganga Puja is expected to attract widespread attention, further emphasizing the importance of preserving and honoring India’s ancient traditions.
