Poonam Pandey's Maha Kumbh visit

Poonam Pandey wore a black printed shirt featuring ‘Mahakal,’ along with the chant ‘Jai Mahakal’ and the ‘Om’ symbol printed all over it. Mahakal is one of the forms of Lord Shiva. After the dip, she did Suryanamaskar.

Beyond the Shahi Snan, she also enjoyed boat rides, fed birds, witnessed the revered evening aartis by the ghats, and danced with other devotees to celebrate the holy spirit of the festival.
