PM prays at Akshayavat, reviews corridor progress
With the aim of ensuring the successful organisation of Mahakumbh-2025, promoting global welfare, fostering world peace and seeking blessings for India’s prosperity and the spiritual journey of millions of devotees visiting Prayagraj, PM Narendra Modi visited Akshayavat on Friday and offered prayers.
As the Yajman, seeking blessings for the successful Mahakumbh-2025, he bowed before the sacred tree, performed rituals, and lit a ceremonial lamp to invoke positive energy and divine grace. Additionally, he performed Pradakshina at the Akshayavat, praying for the well-being of the entire world.
During his visit, the PM also reviewed the corridor development projects around the site. He assessed efforts made to ensure smooth and accessible visits for the millions of devotees expected during Mahakumbh.
Akshayavat is revered as the embodiment of Lord Vishnu’s Veni Madhav, the protector deity of Prayagraj. Notably, the development of the Akshayavat Corridor ahead of Mahakumbh-2025 has been carried out under the visionary leadership of PM Modi and the efficient implementation by CM Yogi.
According to belief, Akshayavat is thought to house the presence of the Creator, Lord Brahma, in its roots, Lord Vishnu in the middle as Veni Madhav, and Lord Shiva at its top. It is also considered a part of the celestial wish-fulfilling tree (Kalpavriksha) among the 14 divine gems obtained from the churning of the ocean.
It is also believed that Lord Ram, on his way back to Ayodhya after conquering Lanka, visited Akshayavat on his Pushpak Viman along with his wife Sita and brother Lakshman. The idols of all three are worshipped at Akshayavat.
