Maha Kumbh 2025: Rajasthan Governor Haribhau Bagde Takes Holy Dip at Triveni Sangam

Rajasthan Governor Haribhau Bagde, along with his family, took a sacred dip at the Triveni Sangam during the Maha Kumbh Mela on Tuesday. This spiritual act holds deep significance in Indian Sanatan culture, symbolising purification and divine connection.

Spiritual Significance of the Maha Kumbh Bath

Governor Bagde emphasised the importance of the Maha Kumbh ritual, describing it as a way to reconnect with one’s cultural and spiritual roots. He highlighted that bathing at the confluence of the Ganga, Yamuna, and the mystical Saraswati is believed to cleanse not only the body but also the soul.

Millions of devotees gather at the Maha Kumbh, making it one of the largest religious events in the world. The festival serves as a meeting point for saints, sages, and pilgrims who seek spiritual awakening and divine blessings.

Rajasthan Leaders Join the Sacred Tradition

On Saturday, Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma, along with his Cabinet ministers and BJP MLAs, also took a holy dip at Triveni Sangam. Their participation in the Maha Kumbh reflects the strong cultural and religious sentiments attached to this grand event.

Major Announcements for Temple Development

During a Cabinet meeting held in Prayagraj, the Rajasthan government approved a budget of Rs 101 crore for renovating temples under state control. Additionally, the honorarium for part-time temple priests was increased.

To further support religious activities, the state decided to double financial assistance to Rs 3,000 per month for various temple services, including worship, bhog, prasad, festivals, and security. This will benefit 390 temples under direct charge and 203 self-sustained temples.

The Maha Kumbh 2025 continues to draw spiritual seekers and leaders, reaffirming India’s deep-rooted traditions and devotion.
