More than 80 lakh people are likely to take a holy dip at Sangam, the confluence of three rivers - Ganga, Yamuna and the mythical Saraswati in Uttar Pradesh - on the occasion of Mauni Amavasya Tuesday, an official said Monday.
Mauni Amavasya is one of the most crucial days for taking a holy dip during the 44-day Magh Mela here.
