FollowOn December 13, 2024, Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Akshayavat in Prayagraj to offer prayers and seek blessings for the successful organization of Maha Kumbh 2025. The PM performed rituals at the revered site, including offering prayers at the sacred tree and lighting a ceremonial lamp to invoke divine blessings for global welfare and India’s prosperity.

Akshayavat is considered a spiritual powerhouse, with strong associations with Lord Vishnu’s Veni Madhav, the protector deity of Prayagraj. According to ancient texts, the sacred tree represents the cosmic presence of Lord Brahma at its roots, Lord Vishnu in its middle, and Lord Shiva at its top. It is also part of the Kalpavriksha, a divine wish-fulfilling tree mentioned in the 14 gems from the churning of the ocean.
