Uttrakhand- On the holy occasion of Chitra Purnima, over 25,000 devotees and around 1,350 seers from various akharas gathered to take a holy dip in Brahmkund at Har Ki Pauri during the Kumbh Mela's final Shahi Snan (royal bath) on Tuesday.
Chitra Purnima is a holy day for the Hindu Community which is celebrated on a full moon day in the month of Chaitra, which is considered to be the first month of the year according to the Hindu calendar. It is a festival dedicated to Chitragupta, a Hindu god who is tasked with recording the good and bad deeds committed by humans by Yama, the Hindu god of death and the underworld. On this day, devotees take a dip in the river asking Chitragupta to redeem them from their sins.
