PM Narendra Modi takes holy dip at Kumbh

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday took the holy dip at the Sangam - the holy confluence of sacred Ganga, Yamuna and mystical Sarawasti rivers - and prayed for peace and prosperity of the nation. Clad in a grey sweater, Modi took the dip in a specially marked area at the ongoing Kumbh Mela. With folded hands, Modi then turned all around in the waist-deep water. Dressed in an orange kurta and wrapped in a saffron shawl, the Prime Minister then participated in the 'Triveni Puja' conducted by a group of priests, offering milk, fruits, a red saree and chandan to the holy rivers.
