Record-Breaking Crowd at Maha Kumbh
The sacred event, which occurs once every 12 years, continues to attract an unprecedented number of devotees. The sheer scale of participation reflects the deep faith and significance of this grand religious gathering. Despite the massive influx, authorities have ensured smooth crowd management and security arrangements.
Prisoners Observe Rituals from Jail
In a unique development, prisoners who were unable to visit the Sangam were granted an opportunity to take part in the ritual within jail premises.
