O Mother, if there has been any deficiency in our worship, please forgive us. To the people, who are the form of God for me, if there has been any shortcoming in serving the devotees, I seek forgiveness from the people as well.”
In a post on X, PM Modi said, “The Maha Kumbh has concluded, the Maha Yagya of unity has been completed. The way the faith of 140 crore countrymen came together for 45 days at the Maha Kumbh of unity in Prayagraj, at one time, and joined this one festival, is overwhelming!
