Bharat Mata Ki Jai: Ahead of the India-Pakistan Asia Cup 2025 encounter on Sunday, devotees in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, held special prayers at the Rajendra Prasad Ghat, seeking divine blessings for Team India’s victory.

The banks of the Ganga turned into a site of patriotic and spiritual fervour, with chants of "Har Har Mahadev" and "Bharat Mata Ki Jai" echoing across the ghats.

Devotees performed the Ganga Aarti, offered prayers while standing in the river, and held up pictures of Indian cricketers and the national flag. Some carried images of Lord Hanuman, praying for strength and triumph for the team.
