To learn other points
, Why was PM Modi selected for the holy dip on 5 February? While traditionally auspicious days such as Basant Panchami and Mauni Amavasya are usually chosen for holy bath during Kumbh, 5 February stands out for its unique spiritual importance. This date matches with Magh Ashtami, which is an auspicious day in the Hindu calendar, which is known for importance in acts of penance, devotion and charity.
• PM Narendra Modi visited 2019 Kumbh Mela Too. He then took a holy dip and washed the feet of the sanitation workers.
• A month before the Maha Kumbh, PM Modi visited Prayaragraj on 13 December and inaugurated 167 projects worth Rs 5,500 crore. This included railway station upgrade, road extension, permanent ghats, riverfronts, sewage and drinking water facilities and uninterrupted power supply.
He also launched many spiritual corridors such as Akshayavat corridors, Saraswati Cop Corridor, and Bharadwaz Rishi Ashram Corridor, which aims to increase the great Kumbh experience by promoting the development of prayer.
