Following the completion of the maha Kumbh bathing ceremonies at Prayagraj, naga Sadhus who had returned to Kashi had medical examinations. amar Ujala reported that many sadhus who stayed on the banks of the ganga for more than a month during maha Kumbh are being checked for several health problems. These include symptoms of colds and fevers, allergies, and lung infections.
 
The medical examinations were conducted by professor Vijaynath Mishra of IMS BHU's Neurology Department, who also supplied the required medications. "Infections are being found in naga Sadhus during tests," he stated. professor Gyaneshwar Choubey, a gene scientist, oversaw the testing of their bodies' antibody levels in addition to the therapies. At BHU, samples were taken from the sadhus for examination.

Experts share insights
Professor Mishra explained the health problems by saying, "While staying on the beach at Sangam, there was dust everywhere. Dust particles have so entered the body.
 
A dedicated "Ghat Walk OPD" was established to address the health issues. Every day, professor Mishra and his group went to several ghats to do examinations, including Shivala, Dandi Ghat, Hanuman Ghat, and Shankaracharya Ghat. Every evening at 5 p.m., the OPD opened and began offering on-site, emergency medical help.
 
These tests to be conducted
This effort assisted almost 150 sadhus. Essential medications were given to people in need, and examinations including blood pressure checks were performed on the spot. Treatment was arranged at BHU for those who needed additional medical care.
 
According to professor Gyaneshwar Choubey, the antibody testing will aid in a better understanding of the sadhus' health. He stated, "Samples have been taken to check the antibodies in the sadhus' bodies." According to amar Ujala, the analysis was carried out at BHU, and the findings were anticipated in two weeks.

During maha Kumbh, 55.56 crore pilgrims have so far taken a sacred plunge in Sangam. With just seven days left before the maha Kumbh concludes, it is thought that this year might break the record for the most people attending Prayagraj.
