First batch of Triveni water sent to Germany

Prayagraj: The recently concluded world's biggest religious and spiritual congregation witnessed an overwhelming turnout, with over 66.30 crore devotees taking a sacred dip at the Triveni Sangam. To extend the spiritual essence of this divine event beyond the festival grounds, the state govt, through the fire department, ensured the distribution of sacred Triveni's holy water to all 75 districts of Uttar Pradesh. Now, this sacred water is gaining international recognition, with the first consignment already dispatched from Prayagraj to Germany.

After the conclusion of Maha Kumbh, the state govt resolved to deliver Sangam water as ‘Maha Prasad' to devotees across the state who could not attend the event. However, with growing overseas interest, requests started coming in from abroad. The initial international consignment—comprising 1,000 glass bottles of Ganga water—was sent to Germany. This shipment was facilitated by Acharya Mahamandaleshwar Swami Avdheshanand Giri of Shri Panch Dashnam Juna Akhara and is intended for devotees in Germany who couldn't make the pilgrimage.

Rajiv Kumar Singh, deputy commissioner of NRLM in Prayagraj, said that the holy Ganga water is being packaged and supplied by the Nari Shakti Mahila Prerna Sankul-level committee from Jasra. Committee in-charge Namita Singh revealed that the self-help group has already distributed more than 50,000 bottles of Triveni water, including a recent shipment to the Shiv Shambhu Group Society in Nagpur. The domestic consignments were sent in 500 ml bottles, while the bottles for Germany were 250 ml.

The fire department supported the distribution across all 75 districts of Uttar Pradesh. During this ongoing process, Sant Raja Ramdas of Param Shivam Shiv Mandir Yogashram in Guwahati arrived at the Triveni Sangam with a private tanker from Assam.
