Prayagraj (Uttar Pradesh), November 25 – The Yogi Adityanath-led Uttar Pradesh government is gearing up to deliver an extraordinary experience for devotees at Mahakumbh 2025, promising grandeur and innovation like never before. Among the key highlights is the introduction of the Nishadraj luxury cruise in the Sangam area, designed to offer visitors a unique and sublime experience.
Ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit, the Nishadraj cruise, operated by the Inland Waterways Authority of India (IWAI), has begun its journey from Varanasi to Prayagraj. Equipped with modern amenities, the cruise symbolizes Uttar Pradesh’s commitment to innovation and excellence in serving both pilgrims and tourists.
Preparations are in full swing, with VIP vehicles such as Kasturba stationed near the Naini Bridge to welcome the cruise. The Prayagraj Mela Authority, in collaboration with the Varanasi administration, is leaving no stone unturned to ensure Mahakumbh 2025 is a majestic and memorable event for visitors from across the globe.
Prime Minister Modi is scheduled to visit Mahakumbh on December 13 and will unveil statues of Lord Ram and Nishadraj at Shrungverpur Dham. Following the unveiling, the Prime Minister will embark on the Nishadraj cruise, traveling from Arail to Sangam.
At the Sangam, PM Modi will pay homage to the sacred Ganga River, perform a ritual bath, and participate in the Ganga Aarti. His itinerary also includes visits to key religious landmarks such as the Bade Hanuman Temple and Akshayavat.
The Prime Minister will be accompanied by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and will engage with prominent saints and spiritual leaders at the Parade Ground assembly, a highlight of the Mahakumbh celebrations.
Additional Mela Officer Vivek Chaturvedi stated that all necessary arrangements are being made to ensure the smooth journey of the state-of-the-art Nishadraj cruise. Continuous coordination between the Prayagraj Mela Authority and Varanasi administration has ensured that the luxury cruise is on track to reach Prayagraj.
Currently stationed at Sitamarhi, the Nishadraj cruise is equipped with special amenities and is set to provide an unforgettable experience for pilgrims and tourists from India and abroad. A second large vessel has been deployed to assist its passage, ensuring all obstacles are cleared along the way.
The cruise requires a minimum clearance of 100 feet for safe navigation, and authorities are ensuring seamless operations to facilitate its journey.
As Mahakumbh 2025 approaches, the introduction of the Nishadraj cruise exemplifies the government’s efforts to elevate the experience for pilgrims and tourists. With the grand event receiving attention worldwide, Uttar Pradesh aims to set a benchmark in cultural and spiritual celebrations.
