The confluence of Prayagraj, known as Sangam, has transformed into a hub of faith, devotion, and enthusiasm as pilgrims flock to it ahead of Mahashivaratri. Reports indicate a surge in devotees arriving for the ritual bathing at the Mela, creating a spiritually charged atmosphere filled with chants of 'Har Har Mahadev.' Among the throngs of devotees, a group of 201 Kanwadias from Bihar reached Prayagraj after completing the Char Dham pilgrimage, participating in a sacred ritual by taking a dip in the Sangam.

These Kanwadias, coming from various villages in Bihar, view the water of the Sangam as exceptionally sacred. Their journey to Prayagraj is deeply significant as they intend to carry the water back to their local Shiva temples for 'Jalabhishek' during Mahashivaratri, believing that the divine water will bring peace and prosperity to their families and communities. The scene of these enthusiastic Kanwadias chanting and singing devotional songs along the banks has become a focal point of attraction at the Mela, illustrating the power of belief and the communal spirit of this religious event.

With the backdrop of the Mela, local authorities and organizers are ensuring that the arrangements for security and convenience are in place for the pilgrims. As thousands gather to celebrate, the event not only reflects the fervor surrounding the observance of Mahashivaratri but also highlights the cultural heritage of the region, fostering unity among diverse communities converging at the Sangam to express their faith and devotion.
