Following the holy bath, the CM shared his experience on social media. He wrote, “Today, I took a dip in the Triveni Sangam at Tirthraj Prayag, seeking the happiness, prosperity, and well-being of three crore people of Chhattisgarh. Mahakumbh is a grand festival of divinity and spiritual energy in Sanatan Dharma, where faith transforms into nectar and unites the soul with the divine.”

In a subsequent social media post, the chief minister reflected on the significance of Kumbh, stating, “Kumbh is a source of energy, a flow of humanity, a beacon of spiritual consciousness, and a path to self-illumination. It is the confluence of all cultures in the universe, harmonizing nature and human life. Mahakumbh embodies the sacred confluence of rivers, forests, and the wisdom of ancient sages.”

Kaushalya Sai, the chief minister’s wife, also shared her spiritual experience, saying, “We sought the blessings of Maa Ganga and prayed to the divine rivers Ganga, Yamuna, and Saraswati for the happiness and prosperity of Chhattisgarh.”
