Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday took a dip at Sangam in Ganga at Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, during Maha Kumbh.
The Triveni Sangam is the confluence of Ganga and Yamuna and is the site of Maka Kumbh where nearly 30 crore people have taken the dip so far. Hindu religious belief says that mythical river Saraswati also joins Ganga and Yamuna at Sangam.
Modi took a boat ride with UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath to Triveni Sangam.
