Afterward, they should enter the river water up to their knees and take water in their hands, making a sacred vow. While bathing, the following mantra should be recited:
Mantra for Amrit Snan: “Gange Cha Yamune Chaiva Godavari Saraswati,
Narmade Sindhu Kaveri, Jalesmin Sannidhim Kuru.”
While facing the Sun, devotees should dip in the water five times, then offer water to the Sun for Tarpan and give Arghya (sacred offerings). After completing the bath, they should wear clean clothes, perform a Panchdev Puja, and donate to the needy.
The sacred Amrit Snan on Basant Panchami is a spiritually enriching experience that brings peace, prosperity, and spiritual growth to all those who participate.
