Millions from the country attended the Grand Mahakumbh 2025. All walks of life are anxious to take a holy dip in the waters of the Sangam in Prayagraj. The fact that this would involve millions uniting to attend a spiritual congregation has stunned the world.
The Mahakumbh has also become a subject of heated debate on the political landscape around it. The Uttar Pradesh government, led by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, has been questioned by the opposition parties on the arrangements they made for the event, and the BJP has hailed the way in which the event was managed as historic and unprecedented. Senior Congress leader Sachin Pilot also joined the spiritual celebrations as he got into the holy waters during these discussions.
Photos and videos of Sachin Pilot dipping into the Sangam have gone viral on social media, equating his participation in Mahakumbh. He then posted a video about his spiritual experience to X (formerly known as Twitter). “The Triveni Ghat in Mahakumbh was a privilege to take dip and perform rituals at.” He wrote. Jai Ganga Maiya, Har Har Gange, Har Har Mahadev!” He later shared pictures from the visit, saying, “Today, I was able to take a bath in the holy waters of the Sangam, which is a symbol of faith and devotion. May the progress and happiness of our nation and state! I pray them!”
Many devotees from Rajasthan have been coming to Prayagraj for the Mahakumbh. The entire Bhajanlal Sharma government, the Chief Minister, along with his cabinet and BJP legislators, even recently went to Prayagraj to participate in the holy ritual. The involvement of VIPs in Mahakumbh has become a hot political issue with reactions on government’s utility and priorities.
