During the ongoing Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj, millions of devotees gathered at the Sangam for the Mauni Amavasya. However, around 1:00 AM on the night of January 29, a massive stampede occurred on the Sangam beach just before the Amrit Snan.

Thousands of devotees gather at the Triveni Sangam in Prayag for the Amrit Snan during the Kumbh Mela, which is celebrated at four major locations in northern India. The Godavari River, which flows through the Deccan Plateau in Maharashtra, is the Second Largest River in India after the Ganges. If the Godavari is considered a boundary, the Kumbh Mela is primarily held in the northern region of India.
