If you were also waiting for the Kumbh Mela after 12 February (Magh Purnima Shahi Snan), when the crowd would be reduced, you were wrong. Perhaps many people were thinking in the country like you. There are now only 8 days left in Mahakumbh, but the crowd of devotees is taking the name of being reduced. Prayagraj has been continuously moving to the devotees. According to official data, in 37 days more than 54 crore devotees have reached Prayagraj and took a Sangam bath. Today on Tuesday, there is a huge crowd since morning. There is a long jam on the paths coming to the confluence. Sangam railway station has been closed till 28 February. That is, after the end of the Mahakumbh, now this station will open. From Monday night, there was a line of 10-12 km long cars in areas adjacent to Mahakumbh like Naini Naya Bridge, Phaphamau. People are taking 3 to 4 hours in a journey of 8 to 10 km. The question is arising that even after the holy bath of Kumbh has passed, why is the crowd not taking the name of stopping?
1- Has Mahakumbh become bigger than religion and faith?
If you are thinking that this crowd belongs to the religious Indian people, then you are probably wrong. There is a chance of bathing throughout the year for those who wanted to wash the sins of birth after bathing the confluence. Anyway, Maghi Purnima is considered to be the last bath of any Kumbh. However, this time the last bath is going to take place on Mahashivaratri on 26 February. But many sage saints and Kalpavasi devotees have departed their homes. Therefore, for those who make the Indian people laugh as religious, it will definitely be no less than a shock. Today, the crowd going to Prayag Raj knows that the system is not very good there, about 10 to 15 kilometers is walking, there is no place in trains, there can be any place in the stampede at any time, petrol pumps can be killed anytime. There is no oil, a bread is being found in 100 rupees at the dhabas, there is no place to go to the bathroom etc. The crowd knows these things well, yet they are reaching Prayagraj. Everyone wants to soak herself in the water of mother Ganga and Yamuna. These devotees include rich and poor, educated and uncovered. It is obvious that this crowd can now be a subject of research because a big case is seen to be a bigger matter than religion and faith.
2-Troke and expansion of private vehicle
Four lane and six lane roads have expanded in every corner of the country. Meanwhile, people have also become their four wheeler. Bathing in Kumbh for the middle class means an adventure trip is also devotional spirit. It has become easy to reach Prayagraj from any part of the country by road in 10 to 15 hours. The trap of expressway has also been laid in Uttar Pradesh. This is the reason why people are continuously reaching. Many people had planned that after the 12th, some congestion would be reduced, then they will easily take a bath. But who knew all the people are thinking that he will walk after 12. This is the reason why the crowd is still not taking the name of being reduced.
3-Hindu religion and Modi and Yogi’s secret
One more thing is that is most important, but no one is going to pay attention to it, that is the popularity of Modi and Yogi. The citizen of the country has become more vocal about his political commitment today. Especially in the country, the popularity of PM Modi and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath is also one of the reasons for reaching Kumbh. On today’s date, people love their leaders, actor and player and also openly demonstrate that love. Going to Kumbh means that we are at every level with Modi and Yogi. People are proving to go to Kumbh that we are Hindus and are staunch supporters of Modi and Yogi. Although not all are going to go to Kumbh, but there are many. This is the reason that Congress and Samajwadi Party leaders also took a dip in Kumbh. Its second aspect is also. Those who do not like these leaders also hate them as much. And they are not hesitant to perform their hatred in front of everyone. Such people will be found criticizing the Gahe Baghe Kumbh. They do not criticize Kumbh because they are not religious or they do not have faith in Hinduism. They criticize Kumbh because people like Narendra Modi and Yogi Adityanath endors it. And they criticize Kumbh and give voice to their hatred.
4-Greed of Kashi-Ayodhya philosophy in the package of Kumbha
Due to the good roads, people feel that once they get out of the house, then Kumbh bathing with bathing is to make a comeback while visiting the Ram temple in Kashi Vishwanath Temple, Ayodhya. The craze of these three places is pulling many people. This is the reason that less crowd is not happening in Kashi and Ayodhya than the crowd in Prayag Raj. Till now Prayagraj was untouched for tourists outside UP. But it is certain that even after the end of Kumbh, Kashi-Mathura-Prayagraj-Ayodhya will become a circuit. Tourism of UP is going to develop on a very large scale.
5- VVIPs are still arriving, so why not?
By 10 am on Tuesday morning, 53.24 lakh devotees took a bath. Bollywood actress Juhi Chawla also reached Sangam among those who took bath. She said that the best morning of my life was. Union Minister Pralhad reached Joshi Sangam to take a dip in Sangam on Tuesday itself. Former Vice President Venkaiah Naidu and Andhra Pradesh deputy CM and actor Pawan Kalyan Sangam are about to take a dip. Before this, the big industrialists, leaders, film stars of the country have reached. Public is wondering why we are behind when everyone is reaching.
6-Craze of social media, why we are left behind
In childhood, a saying was heard, saw Dharma and Dekha Dekhi Sin. In the era of social media, not every person wants to deprive his handle of Kumbh’s photo. After all, our neighbor, Kalig in the office, the people of Friend Circle came back to Kumbh, then why do we not go? We will also go. Now no matter how difficult you have to face for this.
7 – Aquarius came to an end and records are now being made at Prayagraj Airport
It has been more than a month since Kumbh started. But the number of people coming to Kumbh is probably increasing further. On February 16, the maximum number of 20 thousand people have landed at Prayagraj Airport. More than 120 flights and about 60 unscridled flights include mostly chartered planes and private small aircraft. Prayagraj Airport has a capacity of 4000 people in which 20 regular flying is operated daily but 178 flights operated on Sunday alone. At present, Prayagraj remains the busiest airport in the country, especially in terms of chartered flights, 20 regular flights operating daily are operating more than 100 flights these two flights.
