PM Modi arrived in Prayagraj at 10:05 AM and went to the DPS Helipad. From there, he traveled to Arail Ghat, reaching at 10:45 AM. He then took a boat to the Maha Kumbh site, where he spent an hour performing a ritual bath and praying to the Ganga. After that, he returned to Prayagraj Airport and is scheduled to leave the city at 12:30 PM on an Indian Air Force aircraft.

The Mahakumbh began on Paush Purnima (January 13) and is the world's largest spiritual and cultural event, drawing devotees from around the world. It will last until Mahashivratri on February 26.
