Security arrangements have been heightened by local and state authorities to ensure the safety of millions of devotees. The event reflects unity and spirituality as 45 crore pilgrims are expected to gather at Prayagraj for the Maha Kumbh.

Devotees will perform the holy dip at the confluence of the Ganga, Yamuna, and Saraswati rivers, believed to cleanse sins and grant moksha. The three main bathing dates—Makar Sankranti, Mauni Amavasya, and Basant Panchami—are key highlights of the celebration.
Jagadguru Rambhadracharya aims to awaken Hindu consciousness and promote the Sanatan dharma through the Maha Kumbh. The Netra Kumbh initiative aims to provide eye care, including 5,00,000 consultations and 3,00,000 eyeglass distributions.
Eye donation camps at the Netra Kumbh address the needs of India’s blind population, with a focus on corneal issues. Advanced ICU facilities at the Central Hospital in Maha Kumbh Nagar have saved numerous lives, showcasing state-of-the-art healthcare.
AI-driven technology bridges language barriers, enabling seamless communication across 22 Indian and 19 international languages. Over 10,000 patients have already been treated at the Central Hospital, which also offers OPD consultations and maternity care.
The Prayagraj Rail Division has set up round-the-clock medical observation rooms at major stations for emergency care. Sector 24’s Sub-Central Hospital enhances medical services with 25 beds and advanced diagnostic tools.
The Uttar Pradesh Government’s meticulous planning ensures the safety, health, and comfort of millions of pilgrims. The Maha Kumbh 2025 embodies a seamless blend of tradition, spirituality, and modern innovation, setting new benchmarks for mass gatherings.
