New Delhi, Feb 5 (IANS) Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to visit the Prayagraj Maha Kumbh on Wednesday, where he will take a holy dip at the Sangam, the confluence of the three holy rivers the Ganga, Yamuna, and the mythical Saraswati.
On the auspicious occasion of Ashtami Tithi during the 'Magh' month, PM Modi will bathe in the Triveni Sangam during the Puny Kaal, followed by worshipping the Ganga on its banks and praying.
The Prime Minister is expected to arrive in Prayagraj at around 10:05 A.M. on Wednesday and quickly travel from there to the DPS Helipad.
From the DPS Helipad, PM Modi will travel to Arail Ghat at 10:45 A.M., from where he will take a boat to the Maha Kumbh site.
