Witnessing the Kumbh.

Myself in Haridwar, there r hardly people on the Roads, Ghats & temples, but media showing millions of Sadhus & Bhakts.

When I asked few about this, they said Sadhu's understanding the situation left the place weeks ago. 1/3

#Haridwar #KumbhMela2021
I have walked almost 15KM from Maya Devi mandir to Mansa Devi Mandir, then to Chandi Devi mandir to Ghats.

But I hardly see people & vehicles on the roads & temples, where I myself have to walk, since I was not getting any public transport. 2/3
This is the another clip, wen I was heading to Chandi Devi Mandir. See the truth. 3/3

I hardly see people on all these 3 temples, where in Chandi Devi mandir was like 15min 1 Bhakts were cmg.

But sad to see there beggars are sitting & hardly pple turnout with minimal visiters

@sganesh181 I had earlier posted that #KumbhMela should have been closed for common people & only few sadhus of each Akhada should have been allowed with #COVID protocol.

But I did more research after reading many posts & articles blaming kumbh for current crisis.

@sganesh181 First of all most pictures being shared are fake. People are posting old Kumbh pictures to exaggerate their claims about crowds in #MahaKumbh2021

See this for example
