What happened next? A thread.Image

In one week from now, the largest religious festival ever happened on this earth will begin in Prayagraj.

The Ganga, Yamuna, Saraswati Sangam will witness an unprecedented show of devotion, faith, and humanity.

A thread on what it means.
First the context!

Mahakumbh is organized every 12 years at 4 places ~ Prayagraj, Ujjain, Nashik & Haridwar.

Why 4 places? It is because during Samudra Manthan, the Amrit drops from the Kumbh fell in these 4 locations.

Why 12 years? Because Jupiter takes 12 years to orbit around the Sun.

Prayagraj Kumbh is organized when Jupiter is in Taurus, the Sun, Moon are in Capricorn.Image
Now the scale.

This year's Maha Kumbh is special as planetary alignment are auspicious which happens once in 144 years only:

🔸4,000 hectares Mela Area
🔸40 crores devotees expected to come
🔸Rs 6,382 crores budget allocated by the government
🔸Mela Kshetra is declared as 76th district of UP with all administrative powers of a DM given to Mela Adhikari.Image
