PRAYAGRAJ: Amrit snan, the traditional bathing ritual of akharas that was deferred due to the stampede at Maha Kumbh, resumed on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Led by Mahant Ravindra Puri, head of the Akhil Bhartiya Akhara Parishad, the procession of akharas made its way on foot towards the Sangam for the snan.<\/p>\n

The procession, notably less grand than usual, began around 2:30 PM.<\/p>\n

The Amrit snan was originally scheduled in the early hours of the day but was postponed following the stampede.<\/p>\n

Multiple people were killed and many injured in a stampede at the Sangam area of the Maha Kumbh early Wednesday as crores of pilgrims jostled for space to take a holy dip on the occasion of Mauni Amavasya.<\/p>\n

Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath had said a consensus has been reached with the akharas that they would take the holy dip only after the crowd pressure has decreased at the ghats.<\/p>\n

As per tradition of the Kumbh Mela, akharas belonging to the three sects ‘Sanyasi, Bairagi, and Udaseen’ take the holy dip in a set sequence following a majestic, awe-inspiring procession to the Sangam Ghat.<\/p>\n
