Amrit Snan' -- the traditional bathing ritual of akharas that was kept on hold due to the stampede, has been resumed. Led by Mahant Ravindra Puri, head of the Akhil Bhartiya Akhara Parishad, the procession of akharas made its way on foot towards the Sangam for the Snan.

A stampede-like situation at the Maha Kumbh on Mauni Amavasya morning on Wednesday (29 January) left around 30 women injured, prompting Akharas to cancel their holy dip. A massive influx of devotees into Prayagraj's tent city for the 'Amrit Snan' led to overcrowding near the Sangam.

Several devotees are feared dead and many injured following a stampede in the early hours of Wednesday at Akhara Marg, close to the Triveni Sangam ghat at the Maha Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj.
