At Maha Kumbh in the spiritual city of Sangam, Prayagraj, a unique little figure has captured the hearts and attention of thousands of devotees-none other than 'Nanha Gandhi', a young boy spreading the vital message of cleanliness.

Amidst the sacred rituals and millions of pilgrims flocking to take a holy dip in the divine waters, this tiny ambassador for hygiene is calling on everyone to keep their surroundings clean, with the Ganga River at the forefront of his mission.

Golu, a young boy from Delhi, who has taken on the role of Nanha Gandhi, explained his purpose: "I stand here to encourage people visiting Prayagraj to clean the environment and the Ganga river. I hope my message inspires them to keep the surroundings clean."

Deepu Panda, who will help PM Modi conduct the 'puja' at Maha Kumbh told NDTV that when the PM will take a dip at Sangam, he and his team will chant mantras. Mr Panda also said he will be requesting PM Modi to pay tribute to those who died in the stampede last week.

After Coldplay's final concert in the country, frontman Chris Martin and his girlfriend, actress Dakota Johnson, headed to the Maha Kumbh Mela 2025 in Prayagraj. A video of the couple taking a dip in the holy waters surfaced online in which the two were seen joining devotees at Triveni Sangam during the Maha Kumbh Mela 2025.

Chris kept it casual in black shorts, while Dakota embraced the cultural vibe in a traditional ensemble. At one point, the singer was seen folding his hands in prayer.

Bhutan King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck visited the Maha Kumbh on Tuesday and took a dip at the Triveni Sangam. Accompanied by Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, the king performed rituals like offering 'arghya' to the Sun before taking the dip.

King Wangchuk, who was wearing the traditional dress of Bhutan when he landed at the airport, changed into a long saffron-colour kurta and pyjama when he entered the waters.

The Uttar Pradesh government on Monday said it is taking steps to facilitate Sangam Snan for 2,000 senior citizens by the conclusion of the Maha Kumbh.

The Social Welfare Department's pandal, set up along the banks of the Sangam, in partnership with the National Medicos Organization and Artificial Limbs Manufacturing Corporation of India (ALIMCO) has been providing crucial support to underprivileged groups, the government in a statement said.

"One of the major programs under this initiative is Shravan Kumbh, which serves thousands by offering exams and assistance to those with hearing impairments," it said.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit the Maha Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj today and take a holy dip at the Sangam around 11 am, his office said.

"In line with his commitment to promote and preserve India's spiritual and cultural heritage, the Prime Minister has consistently taken proactive steps to enhance infrastructure and facilities at pilgrimage sites," the statement by the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) read.
