Prayagraj, Jan. 29 -- After a brief halt due to large crowds, saints began their procession as they headed to the Triveni Sangam for the second Amrit Snan of MahaKumbh 2025 on the occasion of Mauni Amavasya on Wednesday.

Saints and Akharas halted the second Amrit Snan after a stampede-like situation as a massive crowd of devotees gathered at the Sangam Ghats in the early morning of Wednesday.

Mahakumbh DIG Vaibhav Krishna said that the crowd is under control and all preparations for the Akharas and saints are in place.
