Olympic medallist Saina Nehwal recently traded her badminton racket for a spiritual journey to the Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj. The star athlete joined millions of devotees at the world's largest spiritual gathering, seeking blessings at the sacred Triveni Sangam.

"It feels like a massive festival," Nehwal shared with ANI.

"I feel fortunate to be here and can't wait to experience the atmosphere. It's incredible to see people enjoying themselves and their deep faith in God."
