Recounting the grand inauguration of the Ram temple in Ayodhya, PM Modi stated, "On January 22, 2024, I spoke about devotion and patriotism. During the Maha Kumbh, several gods, goddesses, seers, children, the elderly, women, and youths gathered, displaying the country's awakened consciousness."

The PM expressed that the grand festival inspires unity and harmony among the people. He said, "In this region of the holy city of Prayagraj, there is also the sacred area of unity, harmony, and love, Shringaverpur, where Lord Shri Ram and Nishadraj met. That incident of their meeting is also like the confluence of devotion and harmony in our history. This pilgrimage of Prayagraj still inspires us to have unity and harmony."

"For the last 45 days, every day, I have seen how lakhs of people from every corner of the country are moving towards the banks of Sangam. The wave of sentiments of bathing at Sangam kept on increasing. Every devotee was in the mood of just one thing—bathing at Sangam. The confluence of Maa Ganga, Yamuna, and Saraswati was filling every devotee with enthusiasm, energy, and faith," he added.

Further, he said the event has become a subject of study for management professionals and planning experts. "This Maha Kumbh event held in Prayagraj has become a subject of study for the management professionals of the modern era, for planning and policy experts. Today, there is no other comparison to such a huge event in the whole world. There is no other example like this."

"The whole world is surprised how crores of people gathered in such a large number on a river bank, at Triveni Sangam. These crores of people had neither a formal invitation nor any prior information about when to reach. So, people started for the Maha Kumbh… and became blessed by taking a dip in the holy Sangam."

He highlighted the diversity and inclusivity seen in the people attending the event. "I cannot forget those pictures… I cannot forget those faces filled with immense joy and satisfaction after the bath. Be it women, the elderly, or our disabled people, everyone reached Sangam by whatever means they could."

PM Modi welcomed the fact that there was huge participation from the youth in the event and said it showed that the youth would carry forward the values and culture of India. "And it was very pleasing for me to see that today’s young generation of India reached Prayagraj in very large numbers. The youth of India coming forward to participate in the Maha Kumbh in this way is a very big message. This strengthens the belief that the young generation of India is the carrier of our values and culture, understands the responsibility of taking it forward, and is also determined and dedicated to it."

Emphasizing the new record set by those who reached Prayagraj, he wrote, "The number of people reaching Prayagraj in this Maha Kumbh has definitely set a new record. But in this Maha Kumbh, we also saw that those who could not reach Prayag also got emotionally connected to this event. Those who took the water of Triveni Tirtha with them while returning from Kumbh, a few drops of that water also gave the same virtue as the Kumbh bath. The way so many people were welcomed in villages after returning from Kumbh, the way the entire society bowed their head in reverence towards them, is unforgettable."

The Prime Minister also stated, "This is something that has never happened before in the last few decades. This is something that has laid the foundation for many centuries to come."

"If people researching in the spiritual field study this enthusiasm of crores of Indians, they will find that India, which is proud of its heritage, is now moving forward with new energy. I believe this is the sound of a change of era, which is going to write a new future for India," the blog read.

The Prime Minister also apologized if there were any shortcomings in hosting the grand event. "I know that organizing such a grand event was not easy. I pray to Mother Ganga, Mother Yamuna, Mother Saraswati, O Mother, if there was any shortcoming in our worship, please forgive us. If there was any lapse in serving the devotees, whom I consider the embodiment of God, I also seek forgiveness from the people," PM Modi wrote on his blog.

The PM also said that it was the responsibility of every Indian to keep our rivers clean, as they are connected to our life journey. "Friends, When I went to Kashi for elections, my inner feelings were expressed in words, and I said, ‘Maa Ganga has called me.’ There was also a sense of responsibility in this, regarding the purity and cleanliness of our mother rivers. At the confluence of Ganga, Yamuna, and Saraswati in Prayagraj, my resolve has become stronger. Ganga ji, Yamuna ji—the cleanliness of our rivers is connected to our life journey. It is our responsibility that whether the river is small or big, considering every river as a symbol of a life-giving mother, we must celebrate river festivals at our convenience. This Maha Kumbh of unity has inspired us to keep our rivers clean continuously and keep strengthening this campaign. I know organizing such a huge event was not easy. I pray to Maa Ganga… Maa Yamuna… Maa Saraswati… O Maa, if we have fallen short in our worship, please forgive us. If we have fallen short in serving the devotees, who are God to me, I seek forgiveness from the public as well," he wrote.

The PM also praised Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath 's government for organizing the Maha Kumbh as a successful event. "Friends, the responsibility of serving the crores of people who reached Prayag filled with devotion and became a part of this Maha Kumbh of unity has also been fulfilled only with the power of devotion. Being an MP from UP, I can proudly say that under the leadership of Yogi ji, the government, administration, and the public together made this Maha Kumbh of unity a success. Be it the center or the state, there was no ruler, no administrator, everyone was a servant filled with devotion. Our sanitation workers, our policemen, boatmen, drivers, food cooks—everyone made this Maha Kumbh a success by working continuously with full devotion and service. Especially, the way the residents of Prayagraj have served the devotees in these 45 days, despite facing many difficulties, is incomparable. I express my gratitude and congratulations to all the residents of Prayagraj, the people of UP," he wrote.

"Friends, seeing the scenes of Maha Kumbh, the feelings that arose in my mind from the very beginning, which have become stronger in the last 45 days, my faith in the bright future of the nation has become stronger manifold. The way 140 crore countrymen made the Maha Kumbh of unity in Prayagraj a great identity of today's world is amazing. Impressed by the hard work, efforts, and resolve of the countrymen, I will soon visit Shri Somnath, the first Jyotirlinga out of the twelve Jyotirlingas, and offer my Sankalp Pushp as a form of devotion and pray for every Indian," the PM added. "The physical form of Maha Kumbh has attained completion on Maha Shivratri . But I am confident that, like the uninterrupted flow of Maa Ganga, the flow of spiritual consciousness and unity of Maha Kumbh will continue to flow," he concluded.
