**Prayagraj, India** – The ongoing Maha Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj continues to draw massive crowds, with over 50 million devotees having already taken a holy dip in the Triveni Sangam in the first two days of the 45-day event.

He praised the event’s focus on spiritual freedom, stating it should inspire the world. His two-day visit is part of the ongoing festival, which began January 13th and runs until February 26th.

Other spiritual leaders have also expressed awe at the event.
