On the auspicious occasion of Basant Panchami, the ceremonial bathing began at dawn as sadhus, including ash-smeared Nagas from various akharas, made their way to the Triveni Sangam.
By 4 am, an impressive 16.58 lakh devotees had already taken the holy dip, contributing to a total of 34.97 crore since January 13, according to information director Shishir.

This year's 'Amrit Snan' holds heightened significance in light of the previous tragedy, prompting the Uttar Pradesh government to implement stringent security and crowd management measures to ensure a safe experience for all attendees.
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath personally oversaw preparations, deploying additional personnel, medical staff, and resources to achieve a «zero-error» event.
