Film producer Boney Kapoor visited the Maha Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj on Sunday, immersing himself in the spiritual atmosphere of one of the world’s largest religious gatherings.
He took a holy dip at the Triveni Sangam, the confluence of the Ganges, Yamuna, and the mythical Saraswati rivers.
Kapoor reflected on his past visits to Prayagraj, recalling a personal moment when he had brought his grandfather’s ashes.
Despite these earlier visits, he expressed that he had never witnessed such a monumental gathering of people, adding that the experience was overwhelming.
He shared how the sheer scale of the Mela made him realize the immense population of India, which he now estimates to be around 140-150 crore.
On Saturday, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) National President JP Nadda, accompanied by his family, also visited the Maha Kumbh Mela. Nadda participated in the religious festivities and took a dip in the holy river, fully embracing the spiritual significance of the Kumbh Mela.
Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi also arrived in Prayagraj to offer his prayers, further highlighting the event’s religious and political importance.
As the Maha Kumbh Mela progresses, the Uttar Pradesh government has increased its efforts to ensure a smooth experience for the millions of devotees expected to attend the final major bath of Maha Shivratri, scheduled for February 26.
The state’s officials, including Chief Secretary Manoj Kumar Singh and Director General of Police (DGP) Prashant Kumar, have conducted site visits to assess arrangements, particularly for traffic control and crowd management.
They have issued comprehensive instructions to ensure that devotees can enjoy a seamless spiritual experience, especially during the final bathing ritual and over the upcoming weekend.
The Uttar Pradesh authorities are committed to ensuring that the Maha Kumbh Mela, one of the world’s largest spiritual gatherings, continues to be a safe and organized event.
As millions of devotees participate, traffic management, crowd control, and smooth flow of activities are top priorities.
The efforts aim to prevent any inconvenience to the pilgrims and ensure their safety as they partake in the divine bath at the Triveni Sangam.
