In the Maha Kumbh, the Akharas have decided to halt their Amrit Snan on Mouni Amavasya due to the stampede, as informed by the Akhil Bharatiya Akhara Parishad President Mahant Ravindra Puri. Speaking to the media on Wednesday, he said that many people, including women and children, were injured due to stampede-like conditions at the Sangam. "You must have seen what happened in the morning, and that is why we have taken this decision," he stated. He added that when they were informed about the incident, all the sadhus and scholars were ready for the snan. However, the incident caused them great distress, and they decided to withdraw from the Mouni Amavasya snan.
According to the Kumbh Mela tradition, Akharas from three categories—Sannyasi, Bairagi, and Udasin—arrive in a grand procession at the Sangam Ghat and take a holy dip. Devotees, including sadhus with ash smeared on their bodies, immerse themselves in the holy confluence of the Ganga, Yamuna, and the mythological Saraswati rivers on special bathing dates like Mouni Amavasya. These events are considered sacred by Hindus. On Tuesday, the day before Mouni Amavasya, nearly 50 million people arrived for the bath during the fair, and according to Uttar Pradesh government estimates, about 100 million spectators were expected to attend on Wednesday.
