Faith supersedes fear, pilgrims continue with holy dip at Mahakumbh
Hindustan TimesMAHAKUMBH NAGAR Despite the stampede, which stalled bathing in the Sangam nose area for nearly three hours on Wednesday during the second Amrit Snan of the Mahakumbh on ‘Mauni Amavasya’, faith superseded fear as devotees continued to take the holy dip at all 48 bathing ghats of the Mela area all through the day. Devotees arrive to take a holy dip at Sangam on Mauni Amavasya during the ongoing Mahakumbh Mela, in Prayagraj, Wednesday. According to ADM Vivek Chaturvedi, after the initial disturbance due to the stampede at Sangam in the wee hours, bathing was streamlined at all ghats as per guidelines issued by state government and people continued to take the holy dip at their nearest ghat in the Mela area. He spoke to the office-bearers of the Akhil Bharatiya Akhada Parishad, besides eminent spiritual leaders, about the excessive devotee pressure in the Mela area, after which all monastic orders and Acharya Mahamandaleshwars decided to let devotees bathe first and that they would take the holy dip after crowd pressure eases.
