Ram Nath Kovind offered prayers along with his wife at the Sangam of Prayagraj, becoming the first president after Rajendra Prasad to visit a Kumbh Mela.
The President also inaugurated the three-day 'Gandhian Resurgence Summit' at the Parmarth Niketan camp.
Prayagraj Kumbh 2019 will be remembered for opening of doors to Akshaya Vat (sacred tree) and Saraswati Koop (sacred well) for common men after 450 years. It was a long pending demand of the devotees.
