Historic Mahakumbh 2025 Concludes 

Maha Shivratri marks the last day and final sacred dip of the Maha Kumbh Mela 2025. 

The 45-day-long religious gathering, Mahakumbh 2025, concluded on the auspicious occasion of Maha Shivratri, yet devotees continue to arrive at Prayagraj’s Triveni Sangam for a holy dip. 

On Wednesday, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath posted on X, stating, “The ‘Maha Yagya’ of humanity, the grand festival of faith, unity and equality, Maha Kumbh-2025, Prayagraj, organised under the guidance of the respected Prime Minister Narendra Modi, is moving towards its culmination today with the holy bath of Maha Shivratri.” 

He further highlighted that over 66 crore 21 lakh devotees took the sacred dip in the holy Triveni during Mahakumbh 2025. 

“This is unprecedented in world history – unforgettable. It is the result of the holy blessings of revered Akharas, saints, Mahamandaleshwars, and religious gurus that this great gathering of harmony is becoming divine and grand and giving the message of unity to the entire world,” the Chief Minister added. 

Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya also expressed gratitude to the millions who gathered at Triveni Sangam, praising the historic success of the Kumbh under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi and Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. 

The Mahakumbh officially concluded on February 26, following the first Amrit Snan on Paush Purnima (January 13). Other significant bathing days included Makar Sankranti (January 14), Mauni Amavasya (January 29), Basant Panchami (February 3), and Maghi Purnima (February 12).

Rose petals showered 

On the auspicious occasion of Maha Shivratri, 20 quintals of rose petals were showered on millions of devotees at the Maha Kumbh 2025 on Wednesday, as they gathered at the Sangam in Prayagraj to take part in the final holy dip of the ongoing religious festival.   

The grand flower shower, a traditional gesture to honour the pilgrims, was a spectacular sight, spreading joy and devotion among the gathered crowd. 

The Yogi Adityanath-led Uttar Pradesh government arranged the floral shower as part of the final bathing rituals of the Maha Kumbh, marking the culmination of this grand religious event. 

This flower shower added to the festive atmosphere and symbolised divine blessings for the devotees as they took part in the sacred bath on Maha Shivratri. 

A total of 20 quintals of rose petals were used for this unique ritual, which was performed at the key bathing spots around the Sangam. 

In addition to this grand gesture, the Yogi government has ensured smooth operations throughout the Maha Kumbh, despite the massive turnout. 

Over 4 million pilgrims have visited the Maha Kumbh 2025. On Maha Shivratri alone, more than 25.64 lakh devotees took part in the holy dip, bringing the total number of pilgrims who have bathed in the river to a staggering 64.77 crore. 

CM Yogi Adityanath has been closely monitoring the arrangements for the Maha Kumbh from the control room in Gorakhpur, ensuring the event runs smoothly. 

The official X handle of the Chief Minister’s office wrote, “Chief Minister Shri @myogiadityanath ji Maharaj is continuously observing the arrangements for the holy bathing festival on the auspicious occasion of Mahashivratri today at Mahakumbh-2025, Prayagraj from the control room located at @GorakhnathMndr.” 

With the government’s meticulous planning and continuous monitoring, the event has proceeded without any major hurdles. Pilgrims have praised the arrangements, highlighting the seamless flow of the rituals despite the huge crowds.
