Crores of Hindu worshippers gathered early Tuesday morning at Prayagraj (also known as Allahabad) for the first major holy bath, Shahi Snan Maha Kumbh 2025. The bathing took place where three rivers meet—-the Ganga, Yamuna, and the legendary Saraswati.

Holy men known as Naga Sadhus led the first bath during the early morning hours at the sacred river meeting point. They arrived riding horses, playing drums, and carrying traditional weapons. Chanting “Har Har Mahadev”, their loud chants filled the air as they took their sacred dip, which believers say washes away sins. According to government figures, by the end of the day, 3.5 crore people had taken a sacred dip in the waters.

Different groups of holy men took turns for Amrit Snan Maha Kumbh in order. The Bairagi groups went first, followed by monks from the Udasin and Nirmal groups. For the 1st time, more than 500 transgender sadhus joined the ceremony. Their group was led by Tina Ma, a transgender spiritual leader.  

“We are grateful to Ma Ganga and pray for the country’s progress,” Tina Ma said. 

Devotees from around the world came to take part in the holy bath at Prayagraj Kumbh Mela 2025. Officials have set up strict safety measures, including night-vision cameras and drones to watch over the crowds. Security chief Sanjay Prasad said they’re using modern technology to keep everyone safe.

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath celebrated the event on social media, calling it a display of India’s ancient traditions. He congratulated all who took the sacred dip during this special festival of Makar Sankranti.

I did my first solo trip in India with WanderOn. Initially I was sceptical about their Meghalaya-Kaziranga trip as I didn't have any prior experience with them but the team assured me that it's going to be one of the best experiences of my life.

In Ladakh, find the perfect blend of culture, adventure, and serenity. December last year I decided that my next trip would be Ladakh but didn’t know how to go about it. I knew I wanted to travel in a group, as I had prior experiences of traveling in a group but wanted an organiser I could trust. Ladakh isn’t like other destinations wherein you need some instructions due to the high altitudes.

After an amazing trip to Tirthan with WanderOn, I decided to go to Manali-Jispa with them and yet again, the experience was worth every penny. The place was very beautiful and the quality of service was top-notch, the itinerary was very good and the quality of transportation and stays were very good. Had an awesome time there and made some good friends as well. Lastly, our trip captains Priyasha and Rachit managed the entire trip very well and were so fun and made our trip an experience worth remembering.
