  • MAHA KUMBH MELA 2010 HARIDWAR Kumbh Mela Is the Largest Religious Congregation in the World
    MAHA KUMBH MELA 2010 HARIDWAR Kumbh Mela is the largest religious congregation in the world. According to astrologers, the 'Kumbh Fair' takes place when the planet Jupiter enters Aquarius and the Sun enters Aries. The next Maha Kumbh will be held in the northern Indian town of Haridwar on the banks of river Ganges. Millions of Hindus will have their ritual cleansing bath on eleven auspicious days from January till April 2010. The origin of the Kumbh dates back to the time when Amrita Kalasha (pot of nectar of immortality) was recovered from Samudramanthan (during the churning of the primordial sea), for which a tense war between Devtas (Gods) and Asuras (Demons) ensued. To prevent the Amrita Kalasha being forcibly taken into possession by Asuras, who were more powerful than Devtas, its safety was entrusted to the Devtas Brahaspati, Surya, Chandra and Shani. The four Devtas ran away with the Amrita Kalasha to hide it from the Asuras. Learning the conspiracy of Devtas, Asuras turned ferocious and chased the 4 Devtas running with Amrita Kalasha. The chase, lasted 12 days and nights during which the Devtas and Asuras went round the earth and during this chase, Devtas put Amrita Kalasha at Haridwar, Prayag, Ujjain and Nasik. To commemorate this holy event of the Amrita Kalasha being put at 4 places, Kumbh is celebrated every 12 years. Haridwar or “Gateway to God”, the holy city lies at the foot of the Shivalik range of the Himalayas. Legend goes that when lord Shiva sent Ganga to quench the thirst of the people, she extricated herself from the matted locks of Lord Shiva and descended to the plains at Haridwar.

  • The Godavari Maha Pushkaram 2015 in Andhra Pradesh State - a Study on Good Practices and Gap Analysis of a Mass Gathering Event
    Original Research Article DOI: 10.18231/2394-2738.2017.0014 The Godavari Maha Pushkaram 2015 in Andhra Pradesh State - A study on good practices and gap analysis of a mass gathering event Prabhakar Akurathi1, N. Samson Sanjeeva Rao2,*, TSR Sai3 1PG Student, 2Professor, 3Professor & HOD, NRI Medical College, Chinakakani, Andhra Pradesh *Corresponding Author: Email: [email protected] Abstract Introduction: The Godavari River’s Mahapushkaram observed from 14th to 25th July, 2015 drew upto 10 lakh people to Rajahmundry city and neighboring towns. Due to the flocking of such masses, many problems were anticipated; traffic congestion, poor sanitation, air pollution due to vehicles, water pollution etc. There was also an increased need for proper food, milk and water. An effective mass management plan requires an assessment of the current system’s capacity and understanding of hazards and risks. A review of such events can enlighten us with good practices and identify gaps which can be addressed in future such events. Materials and Method: This qualitative study involved PRA techniques like transect walk on all the days and interaction with key informants and in depth interviews with officials, workers and pilgrims. Preparations made for the Pushkaram, good practices and gaps in the arrangements were observed and noted. The information was transcribed in MS word and identified themes are presented. Results and Discussion: Observations regarding planning, facilities, food and water, sanitation, communication, transport, crowd flow, security and safety revealed many good practices. However many gaps were also identified. On the first day a stampede took place at pushkar ghat with 29 people losing their lives.

This occasion was KUMBH MELA in the year 2001 wherein 70 million people congregated over a period of few weeks. During this Allahabad (the city where Kumbh was organized) turned into the most densely populated city in the world.

  • Human Currents: the World's Largest Pilgrimage
    WORLD’S LARGEST RECORDED HUMAN GATHERING –TENS OF MILLIONS OF PILGRIMS -- CAPTURED BY PHOTOGRAPHER HANNES SCHMID EXHIBITION PRESENTS IMAGES OF FESTIVAL HELD ONCE EVERY 144 YEARS FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 2011 New York—As many as seventy-five million pilgrims assembled in Allahabad, North India for a month-long Maha Kumbh Mela festival from January to February 2001. It was the largest ever recorded gathering of human beings up to that time, and so immense that the crowd was visible from space. Swiss artist Hannes Schmid was there as Hindu pilgrims moved towards the banks of the sacred Ganges River, capturing this massive pilgrimage with his camera. From July 22 to November 13, 2011 the Rubin Museum of Art will present Schmid’s still and moving images of the festival during Human Currents: The World’s Largest Pilgrimage as Interpreted by Hannes Schmid. The Maha Kumbh Mela—the most important among Kumbh Mela festivals that celebrate gods’ symbolic triumph over demons—is held only once every one hundred forty-four years. Pilgrims mark the festivals by travelling to sites along the banks of the Ganges River, and never more so than during the 2001 Maha Kumbh Mela when a veritable sea of devotees of all ages, castes, and classes traveled from every corner of India to participate. 28 million pilgrims were said to have gathered on the main bathing day alone. “The day, when such a mass of pilgrims of all ages gather for a common purpose and destiny, has intrigued me for as long as I knew,” says photographer Hannes Schmid.

  • Kumbh Mela: What Is the Hindu Festival?
    Good Morning Year 3 Big question: Would visiting the Ganges feel special to a Hindu or Non Hindu? Activity 1 Last week we caught a glimpse of a Hindu pilgrimage to the River Ganges. In the video we saw Simran describe her journey from Britain for Kumbh Mela festival. (If you missed it or need to see the video again, click here: https://tinyurl.com/lcp-y3re) Now let’s learn more about the Kumbh Mela festival. Read the text below and answer the questions. Kumbh Mela: What is the Hindu festival? Millions of people will bathe in India's sacred Ganges and Yamuna rivers as part of the Hindu festival of Kumbh Mela. It's the biggest peaceful gathering in the world with over 120 million people expected over the next 49 days. Hindus believe the water from the river will rid them of sin and save them from any future evil. The location of the festival is chosen solely by the position of the sun, moon and Jupiter according to Hindu astrology. 120 million Hindus and tourists will visit the north Indian city of Prayagraj over the next few weeks. The festival is held at Sangam, the point at which India's two mega rivers, the Ganges and Yamuna, come together. The festival moves between the four locations, with Prayagraj being the largest. The other locations are Haridwar, Nashik district, and Ujjain. Kumbh Mela is held every 12 years. Every six years a half Khumb is held. The most recent full Kumbh was held in 2013 in Allahabad and over 100 million people visited.

  • Stampede at the Kumbh Mela: Preventable Accident? 2017
    Susan R. Holman Satchit Balsari Stampede at the Kumbh Mela: Preventable Accident? 2017 Early in January 2013, pilgrims began to gather in the dry sands about three miles beyond the city center of Allahabad, India, to attend the Kumbh Mela, an ancient Hindu religious ritual and festival that draws millions of devout pilgrims for spiritual purification. The festival takes place every 12 years at a holy and auspicious location where the Ganges, Yamuna, and the mythical Saraswati rivers meet. Government officials, administrators, and hired workers had spent months preparing, and the site now stretched to the horizon, with hundreds of multi-colored tents, electrical poles and utilities, bridges, and new roads (see Figure 1). From an adjacent hillside bluff, visitors could look down and see the blue and yellow waters of the Ganges and Yamuna meeting in turbulence at the sangam, the most sacred convergence of land and water for bathing, just east of an ancient fort. The entire stretch of sand and rivers—under water most of the year until the annual dry season exposed it anew each winter—had special meaning in Hindu religious belief and practice. Here, it was said, “Mother Ganga” offered purification to all who bathed in her waters during the 55-day festival. Religious leaders, pilgrims, tourists, celebrities, and village laborers would be converging on this small strip of land from around the world and across India to take a holy “dip” in the river and perform religious rituals. As many as 100 million visitors were expected in 2013. On the most holy day of all, which fell on February 10 this year, officials predicted as many as twenty to thirty million people would bathe.1 An event that public health experts called a “mass gathering” due to its high volume and dense crowds, the Kumbh Mela was a festival that Indians regarded with reverence and national pride.
