Late Apple co-founder Steve Job's wife Laurene Powell Jobs developed allergies on the second day of the ongoing Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj, the holy north Indian city hosting the world's largest religious congregation.

According to reports, she will participate in the ritual of taking a dip in the Ganges.

Spiritual leader Swami Kailashanand Giri told ANI, "She will participate in the ritual of taking a dip (at the Sangam). She is resting in my 'shivir'. She has some allergies. She has never been to such a crowded place."

"Our tradition is such that those who have never seen it - they all want to join," Giri told ANI.

She arrived in Prayagraj for the holy festival on Monday.

During her visit, she will partake in various rituals, including the sacred dip at the Sangam, immersing herself in the spiritual essence of the Maha Kumbh.

The Sangam’s waters are believed to cleanse sins and bestow spiritual blessings, making it a central focus of faith and devotion.

Almost 10 million people braved dense fog and intense cold to take a dip in the freezing waters at the Triveni Sangam in Uttar Pradesh's religious city of Prayagraj in their bid to seek forgiveness for their sins, marking the first 'Amrit Snan' (royal bath) of the ongoing Maha Kumbh, on Tuesday.
