On December 13, 2024, Prime Minister Narendra Modi described the 2025 Maha Kumbh as a "mahayagya of unity" that would elevate India's cultural and spiritual identity globally. During his visit to Prayagraj, he inaugurated 167 development projects worth approximately Rs 5500 crore and launched a multilingual AI chatbot, 'Kumbh SahAI'yak'. He called the upcoming Maha Kumbh, which will take place from January 13 to February 26, 2025, a significant "Maha Yagya" of unity.
Before the public meeting, PM Modi began his visit with a ceremonial puja and darshan at the holy Sangam—the confluence of the Ganga, Yamuna, and Saraswati rivers—and also took a river cruise. Uttar Pradesh Governor Anandiben Patel and Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath joined him at the ceremony. The Maha Kumbh, held every 12 years, is one of the world's largest spiritual gatherings.
