02:54All the devotees who are coming here in this 45 day exercise, who would be coming here

03:04dip at the Triveni Sangam, this place is something that will always find a special mention in

07:15gynaecology,
07:17gynaecology,
07:19Right.
07:39You would be surprised to know that this place
07:41came into existence in December of
07:432023 itself.
07:45So this place was built
07:47ahead of its time knowing for a fact
07:49that all the facilities are needed here
07:51and hence they are
07:53they have to give
07:55ample time to set this up.
07:57Medical facilities obviously
07:59take some time. Once you are done
08:01with the prescription and seeing the
08:03doctor, you would step
08:05out and you will go to Aushadhi Vitthal
08:07encounter, where you will get your medicines
08:09and from here
08:11with free medicines
08:13you can straight away head home
08:15to get well. A place
08:17dedicated obviously
08:19for the betterment of the devotees
08:21so much so
08:23that the locals here are now getting
08:25treated here. They are taking
08:27paying visits here in this hospital
08:29which has all the
08:31world class facilities and
08:33the doctors always on standby 24
08:35by 7. It's a Sunday
08:37today yet patients are coming and
08:39visiting all other places.
08:41The outside structure is still being made but
08:43central pathology is
08:45already up and running and
08:47very
08:49efficient way I would say for
08:51the administration for
08:53the Kuma Melakshetra
08:55preparations that
08:57this particular aspect has been given
08:59such importance and
09:01the administration too has been very
09:03careful and very
09:05considerate while keeping this
09:07crucial aspect in mind, the health
09:09care. If any
09:11devotee faces any sort of trouble
09:13someone has a heart attack, unfortunate
09:15so we say
09:17also if someone meets with
09:19an accident, this place
09:21is all set
09:23and all ready to take care of
09:25every bit of the
09:27turmoil that you might go through.
09:29We wish the devotees and the visitors
09:31to Mahakum 25 all the very best
09:33only to tell you and to
09:35assure you that this place has got all
09:37the medical facilities and you are all covered
09:39that's what this Mahakum
09:412025 preparations is all about
