The Maha Kumbh, held every 12 years, is considered one of the largest religious congregations in the world. This year’s event saw an overwhelming turnout, with millions of pilgrims gathering at the Triveni Sangam to take a holy dip and participate in spiritual activities. PM Modi likened this collective devotion to the legendary descent of the Ganga to Earth, symbolizing the country’s deep-rooted faith and unity.
During his address, PM Modi recalled the contributions of historical figures such as Swami Vivekananda, Mahatma Gandhi, Bhagat Singh, and Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, emphasizing how spiritual consciousness has played a role in shaping the country’s journey.
The Prime Minister underlined how the Maha Kumbh reinforced India’s core principle of unity in diversity. “This gathering was a reflection of India’s ability to stand together, regardless of social, economic, or regional differences. It was a living example of the harmony that defines our nation,” he noted.
