Prayagraj is Adorned: See the Kumbh Mela in Pictures

In Prayagraj, the upcoming Ardhakumbh (half-pot festival, held every six years) is being organized from Makar Sankranti (astronomical transition of the sun into Capricorn) to Mahashivratri (the great night of Shiva), which is a wonderful and important part of Hindu dharma (righteous way of life) and Bharatiya sanskriti (Indian culture). The Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, Yogi Adityanath, is vigorously engaged in the preparations for the Kumbh (pot festival). Yogi Adityanath's monumental effort to bring global recognition to the Prayag Kumbh has transformed it into a Mahakumbh (great Kumbh). Let us see in pictures how Prayag has been adorned for the upcoming Kumbh....

Mahant (head priest) Yogi Adityanath is dedicated to giving an extremely grand form to the great festival of Kumbh. Prayagraj has undergone an unprecedented transformation. More than 70 countries will participate in the Kumbh. India's national festival will showcase its international resonance. All arrangements are airtight. The rare Akshayavat (indestructible banyan tree) has also been opened for darshan (sacred viewing) this time, which is a major achievement; otherwise, it always remains under the control of the army. Unprecedented development works have taken place in Prayag in view of the Kumbh. Recently, the new Bamrauli Airport of Prayagraj was inaugurated by Prime Minister Modi.
