"The divine stream of Triveni Sangam--may the infinite blessings of Maa Ganga, Maa Yamuna and Maa Saraswati always remain upon all of us; may everyone's life be filled with happiness, prosperity and well-being; this is my wish," CM Sharma added. CM Bhajanlal Sharma, during the holy bath at Sangam, was accompanied by his Madhya Pradesh counterpart, CM Mohan Yadav. The two Chief Ministers greeted each other at Triveni Sangam after taking the holy dip together. Triveni Sangam is the confluence of the Ganges, Yamuna, and the mythical Saraswati rivers in Prayagraj. After the holy dip, CM Yadav told ANI, "Sangam has the blessings of Maa Ganga and Maa Yamuna and Prayagraj is the supreme place of all pilgrimages. So the pleasure of having a holy dip here is achieved after the virtues of many births. I prayed here for the wellness of Madhya Pradesh's people, especially youth and fortune for every section of the society." (ANI)
