Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday visited Prayagraj, where he is set to take a holy dip at Prayagraj’s Triveni Sangam shortly on the auspicious occasions of Magh Ashtami and Bhishma Ashtami.

At present, PM Modi is taking a boat ride along with Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath from Areal Ghat to Mahakumbh, where he will take a dip at the Sangam Ghat at around 11:30 pm.

PM Modi arrived at Prayagraj Airport at 10:05 am before proceeding to Areal Ghat at 10:45 am.

PM Modi is expected to perform the ritual bath, offer prayers and is likely to address a gathering and talk about nation-building, according to sources.

Even as Delhi elections are underway, February 5 assumes a special significance in Hindu calendar as many observe Magh Ashtami and Bhishma Ashtami. Today also coincides with Gupt Navraratri, an auspicious occasion.
