Preparations for the Kumbh Mela 2025 in Prayagraj are in full swing. On Wednesday, for the first time, five major Akhadas performed a combined Bhoomi Poojan. The auspicious ceremony was attended by administrative officials and a large number of saints and ascetics.
As part of the grand preparations for Kumbh Mela 2025, on Wednesday, five prominent Akhadas—Juna, Ahwan, Agni, Niranjani, and Anand—conducted the Bhoomi Poojan together. This was the first time such a joint Bhoomi Poojan was held for these Akhadas. The ritual began at 11 AM, in an auspicious muhurat, with Vedic chanting led by the priests. During the ceremony, coconuts were broken to purify the land for the upcoming construction of the camps.
The Akhada saints mentioned that with the Bhoomi Poojan, the construction of the camps for the Kumbh Mela will begin soon. Mahant Ravindra Puri praised the arrangements being made by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and expressed hope for the successful completion of Kumbh Mela 2025.
