PM Modi expressed gratitude to the Yogi Adityanath-led Uttar Pradesh government for successfully managing the event. He acknowledged the contributions of sanitation workers, law enforcement, and residents of Prayagraj, crediting their dedication to making the Maha Kumbh a success.
In closing, Modi remarked that while the physical event had concluded on Maha Shivratri, its spirit of unity and devotion would continue to inspire generations. Looking ahead, he vowed to offer prayers at the Somnath temple, reinforcing his commitment to India’s cultural and spiritual journey.
