Mahakumbh Nagar, Jan. 29 -- The sacred Amrit Snan of Mauni Amavasya, the most significant festival of Maha Kumbh and a cornerstone of the Sanatan faith, will take place on Wednesday. This year, a rare celestial alignment - the Triveni Yog - occurring after 144 years, amplifies the spiritual significance of the day.
According to astrologers, Triveni Yog, akin to the Samudra Manthan Yog, will last from 2:35 pm on Tuesday (January 28) until 7:25 am on February 8. During this period, bathing at the holy Triveni Sangam is believed to bestow virtues equivalent to performing a Sahastra Vajpayee yajna or a hundred Ashvamedha yajnas.
The scriptures describe bathing in the Sangam on Mauni Amavasya as 'mokshadayak' (granting liberation).
