The Maha Kumbh 2025 was held on the Triveni Sangam in UP’s Prayagraj (previously often called Allahabad). The non secular occasion, typically dubbed “the biggest peaceable gathering of people on Earth,” commenced on January 13. It culminated on twenty sixth February on the Maha Shiv Ratri competition. Per state information, over 66 crore or 660 million devotees flocked to take holy dip. The income generated in the course of the maha kumbh is estimated at Rs 2 trillion or $23 billion.
Reactions poured in over the success story shared by the UP CM. One person took potshots on the authorities, “Revenue of 23 lakhs per boat. That is outrageous. It implies that they’ve looted folks there. The federal government was supporting these looters.” One other person jibed, “One boatman earns 23 lakhs in 45 days, and also you ignorant middle-class are losing 12 hours a day at Infosys for a similar 23 lakh in an entire 12 months.” “Nirmala Tai’s watching,” wrote one, whereas one other remarked that it was all “cash laundering.” Others dropped memes.
