Even after Mauni Amavasya, the steady stream of devotees continued, with over one crore people arriving daily for the holy bath. The entire Mahakumbh Nagar is immersed in devotion and spiritual fervour. By February 9, more than 43 crore devotees will have set a historic milestone by taking a dip in the Sangam.

The state administration made extensive preparations in advance for this grand and historic event, ensuring seamless arrangements for bathing and other facilities for devotees.
