Maha Kumbh Mela 2025: Steve Jobs wife Laurene Powell is ill with allergies, but will participate in the ‘Sangam’ or ritual dip later today (January 14), according to an ANI report.

Spiritual leader Swami Kailashanand Giri told the news agency that Powell will partake in the tradition. “She will participate in the ritual of taking a dip (at the Sangam). She is resting in my ‘shivir’. However, she has some allergies. She has never been to such a crowded place. She is quite simple. She stayed with us during the pooja. Our tradition is such that those who have never seen it – they all want to join,” Giri told ANI.
