UP govt merges 3 streams of Ganga into 1 at Sangam ahead of Mahakumbh
Wednesday, 18 December 2024 Uttar Pradesh's Irrigation Department reunited three Ganga river streams at the Sangam, creating 22 hectares of bathing space for the 2025 Mahakumbh. This reverses the river's natural course alteration, simplifying pilgrim access and improving water purity. Dredging, despite initial challenges with strong currents, enabled the merging, centralizing bathing for the expected 40 crore devotees.
Maha Kumbh 2025 in Prayagraj drew global media attention for its unparalleled scale, rituals, and challenges. Over 65 crore devotees attended, surpassing the U.S. population, as reported by The Wall Street Journal. International outlets highlighted the grand Naga Sadhu processions, digital advancements, and the tragic stampedes. Despite the incidents, millions participated in the sacred baths at Triveni Sangam. AFP, Reuters, CNN, and The New York Times captured the festival’s essence, marking it as the world’s largest religious gathering. Cleanup efforts now begin as the 45-day mega event concludes.
