Bihar Governor Arif Mohammad Khan took a holy dip in the Triveni Sangam on Friday during the ongoing Maha Kumbh. He emphasized that Indian culture teaches us to see every human being as divine.
After taking the dip, Khan told reporters, "The core belief of Indian culture is 'Ekaatmata'—the idea that all differences disappear in unity. Every human is a form of the divine, just like Lord Krishna, and this belief is visible here in a big way."
He added that people from all walks of life have gathered to celebrate India’s heritage, values, and traditions. The Maha Kumbh, he said, proves that India’s culture and traditions bring humanity together.
"Even though many people here do not know each other, they are united in this grand event. Our heritage, values, and ideals keep our society connected and promote harmony," he said.
On Thursday, Khan described the Maha Kumbh as a symbol of peace, unity, and service for the world.
Recalling his journey to the Maha Kumbh, he shared, "It took me over three hours to reach here due to traffic. Normally, being stuck in traffic is frustrating, but I enjoyed the time. I saw an elderly couple, around 75-76 years old, holding hands. In them, I saw a beautiful confluence of love and devotion."
