On Monday, President Droupadi Murmu will visit Prayagraj to partake in the ongoing Maha Kumbh celebrations. During her visit, she plans to take a sacred dip at the Triveni Sangam, where the Ganga, Yamuna, and the mythical Saraswati rivers converge. The President’s stay in the city will exceed eight hours as she immerses herself in the spiritual and cultural essence of the event.Accompanied by Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, President Murmu will commence her day at the Triveni Sangam, performing the ceremonial dip at this significant confluence.

After the sacred dip, she will pay homage at the revered Akshayavat tree, an enduring symbol of life in Sanatan culture. This tree is deeply venerated in Hinduism and is mentioned in ancient texts as a representation of immortality and divine essence. The President is also scheduled to visit the prominent Bade Hanuman Temple, offering prayers for the nation’s prosperity and welfare.

Furthermore, President Murmu will explore the Digital Maha Kumbh Experience Centre, an innovative facility utilizing cutting-edge technology to deliver a virtual representation of the Kumbh Mela, providing rich insights into the event for both domestic and international visitors.

In preparation for the President’s visit, robust security measures have been implemented throughout the city.

This visit mirrors the actions of India’s first President, Dr. Rajendra Prasad, who also took a holy dip during a previous Kumbh. President Murmu is expected to conclude her visit to the Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj and return to New Delhi by 5:45 PM.

Her presence will mark a historic and inspirational moment not only for Prayagraj but also for devotees across the nation, amplifying the religious, cultural, and spiritual significance of the Maha Kumbh.

National: One year after the deadly terror attack in Pahalgam, the nation remembers the 26 people who lost their lives. The attack took place on April 22 at Baisaran, a popular tourist spot.

At first, reports said only five people were injured. Later, it became clear that it was one of the worst terror attacks in the region in decades. Terrorists came out of the forest and opened fire on tourists.

Survivors said the attackers separated men from women and children. They then shot the men at close range. Many victims were reportedly targeted after being asked about their religion.

A heartbreaking image of Himanshi Narwal sitting beside her husband’s body became a symbol of the tragedy. Her husband, a naval officer, was among those killed.

The group The Resistance front, linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba, claimed responsibility. The case was investigated by the National Investigation Agency.

After months of tracking, security forces launched Operation Mahadev. On July 28, 2025, all three terrorists were killed after a long search operation.

The attack remains a painful memory and a reminder of the need for strong security.
