It has been agreed that the Paush Purnima Snan will be held on January 13, 2025, Makar Sankranti on January 14, Mauni Amavasya on January 29, Basant Panchami on February 3, Maghi Purnima on February 12, and Mahashivaratri on February 26, 2025, in a meeting between the Prayagraj Mela Authority and the seers of the 13 Akhadas of the nation.
Sacred Royal Baths by the 13 Akhadas
On January 14 (Makar Sankranti), January 29 (Mauni Amavasya), and February 3 (Basant Panchami), the 13 Akhadas of the nation will perform three Shahi Snans, or royal baths. On Saturday, Vijay Vishwas Pant, the divisional commissioner of Prayagraj and the head of the Prayagraj Mela Authority (PMA), along with Bhanu Bhaskar, the additional director general of police, and Vijay Kiran Anand, the mela adhikari for the Makkumbh Mela, presided over the first meeting between representatives of the 13 Akhadas and the PMA. Anand emphasised the plan to build seven distinct riverfronts that would total 13.25 km in length. According to him, these are being created to increase Prayagraj’s grandeur in light of the Mahakumbh in 2025. Seven ghats are also being built in this order, with funding from the National Mission for Clean Ganga and full public amenities, which will aid in the operation of boats and safe bathing for visitors and worshippers. To further promote tourism in the district, work is being done in this order on the Akshayavat, Patalpuri, and Saraswati Koop corridors, as well as on the landscaping, signage, and entrance gate.
Nagvasuki, Alopshankari Devi, and More Temples Under Construction
Nagvasuki Temple, Alopshankari Devi Temple, Mankameshwar Temple, Pandila Mahadev Temple, Koteshwar Mahadev Temple, Kalyani Devi Temple, and Takshak Tirtha are a few other significant temples that are now being built. The Bhardwaj Ashram and Dwadash Madhav temple corridors are being improved, along with the entrance gates, signs, and other elements. Ayodhya and Prayagraj-Banda Highways, the Jasra railway crossing, the expansion of the airport, the construction of the ROB in Subedarganj to connect the airport with the Mela area, and the one-way for the airport were all covered in detail. The seers made certain recommendations while appreciating the work being done by the administration. Mahant Hari Giri, general secretary of Juna Akhara, suggested that these include Prayagraj as a signpost for Ram Gaman’s path, more awareness of Maharishi Bhardwaj’s work, a permanent Adi Shankaracharya gate, and a suitable path for Veni Madhav’s circumambulation. It was suggested that arrangements be made and locations be given Jagatguru names. Hanging wires from Peshwai procession lanes should be completely removed, according to Yamuna Puri Maharaj of Mahanirvani Akhara. All of the seers made requests in this order to make the required preparations for the pilgrims and seers.
