Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit Mahakumbh on February 5, where he will take a holy dip at the Sangam and offer prayers to the Ganga. His office confirmed this in a statement.
According to mela officials, the PM’s schedule has been slightly changed. He will no longer visit Netra Kumbh and the state pavilion, which were earlier part of his plan.
PM Modi will arrive at Bamrauli airport around 10 AM and then take a helicopter to reach the DPS helipad by 10:30 AM. From there, he will travel by boat from Arail Ghat to reach the Sangam at 11 AM.
After taking the holy dip, he will return to Arail Ghat by 11:45 AM. At 12 noon, he will take a helicopter back to Bamrauli airport and board an IAF aircraft at 12:30 PM to return to Delhi.

During the 2019 Kumbh, PM Modi had bathed in the Ganga and washed the feet of five sanitation workers as a mark of respect. On December 13 last year, he had also inaugurated 167 development projects worth ₹5,500 crore in Prayagraj, improving roads, facilities, and services for pilgrims and residents.
Mahakumbh, the world's largest spiritual and cultural gathering, started on January 13 (Paush Purnima) and will continue until February 26 (Mahashivratri). The PM has been actively working to preserve India’s spiritual heritage by improving infrastructure at pilgrimage sites.
