Giri, while attending the Amrit Snan ritual at the Sangam Ghat on Wednesday, said, "On Monday, Kamala faced some difficulty in navigating through the crowd, so she stayed at the camp. She is very humble and curious about Sanatan Dharma."

"She wants to learn more about the guru-shishya tradition and has numerous questions related to Sanatan philosophy," he said.
