INDIA, February 13, 2025 (The Organiser, by Yatharth Sikka): Kumbh is the largest spiritual gatherings in the world, where millions of devotees come together to take a dip at the Triveni Sangam in Prayagraj. Being a Gen-Z, I never considered religious rituals, worshipping or traditional practices a part of my daily life. However, my first experience at Maha Kumbh 2025 changed my perspective in ways I had never imagined. Before visiting, I had only heard about Kumbh through stories and movies, primarily highlighting how people get lost in the crowd. However, when I reached there, I realized it was just a myth. The arrangements were well organized, and despite the massive gathering, everything was managed efficiently. Instead of chaos, I found discipline, devotion, and a deep sense of social harmony among the people. There are no barriers—only faith and devotion.

My journey to Kumbh was not easy. It took me 28 hours to reach my destination due to a 186-mile-long traffic jam. But rather than feeling frustrated, my curiosity about Kumbh only grew stronger. What was so special about this event that made millions of people endure such hardships just to be there? The answer became clear as soon as I entered the sacred area. The moment I arrived, I felt overwhelmed by the vastness of the Maha Kumbh. From every corner of Bharat, people had gathered here, dressed in different attires, speaking different languages, yet united by a single faith. The devotion in their eyes and the chants of sacred mantras created a powerful and peaceful atmosphere. Visiting Maha Kumbh felt like entering another world. I saw saints lost in deep meditation. Groups of people sang devotional songs while hundreds of thousands walked towards the river with full faith. The energy of the place was incredible, and it felt like we were all connected by a shared spiritual journey.
