Page: 1 Truth and Youth (TAY) Online Mag Journal KUMBH MELA: A Gathering Amidst Rising COVID Cases Voice of YOUTH https://truthandyouth.com/kumbh-mela-a-gathering-amidst-rising-covid-cases/ Author: Nistha Sinha, 2nd year LL.B. student at Symbiosis Law School, Pune. KUMBH MELA: A Gathering Amidst Rising COVID Cases Brihaspati (Jupiter) completes one revolution approximately every 12 years (on Earth). This 12 year cycle is celebrated as a large pilgrimage of Hinduism at four river bank sites i.e. Allahabad (Triveni Sangam), Nashik (Godavari), Haridwar (Ganga) and Ujjain [1] (Shipra) , known to be one of the largest religious celebrations in India called the Kumbh Mela. A ritual dip in the river marks the festival, apart from a celebration of community commerce with various Melas (fairs), educational and religious discourses by saints, mass [2] feedings of monks or the poor, and entertainment spectacle. The practice of dipping into these rivers signifies atonement or penance and it is a widely held belief that it washes away sins. Approximately 60 million Hindus gathered for the Kumbh Mela in 2001 according to [3] Encyclopaedia Britannica. Often considered as the "world's largest congregation of religious pilgrims", it is claimed that the festival witnesses one of the largest peaceful gatherings in the world. It has been listed on UNESCO's Representative List of Intangible [4] Cultural Heritage of Humanity. Further, it was estimated by the Kumbh Mela authorities that the largest one-day attendance at the Kumbh Mela was 30 million on 10 February [5] 2013 and 50 million on 4 February 2019. As India grapples through the devastating second wave of COVID19, one must look at science and religious traditions from a different outlook. The world has been forced to evolve due to this pandemic, what used to be normal prior to the coronavirus situation is no longer the norm. So, it was much of a shock to see the Government endorse and state sponsor a festival that went against every Covid19 regulation laid down by the government itself. The question that arises is whether there could have been a different, precautionary approach towards this centuries old tradition? There is a very common radicalized myth that Science and Religion are at the opposing ends of the spectrum and that they cannot co-exist. This is a flawed notion. Under normal circumstances, the Kumbh Mela is held over three months. Although, this time around, due to concerns over COVID-19, the Kumbh Mela formally began as late as April 1. There were claims that the event was Copyright © Truth and Youth (TAY) Online Mag Journal 2021. Page: 2 Truth and Youth (TAY) Online Mag Journal KUMBH MELA: A Gathering Amidst Rising COVID Cases Voice of YOUTH https://truthandyouth.com/kumbh-mela-a-gathering-amidst-rising-covid-cases/ “comparatively modest” despite the huge number of people gathering around Haridwar. Apparently, the 2021 event was “reduced” to just one month and “scaled down” midway [6] due to the uproar of the pandemic. Is the bare minimum enough to fight against a virus that has paralysed the world and brought it to a standstill? Most basic COVID-19 guidelines like social-distancing, wearing a mask and so on were openly violated; all happening right under the watchful eyes of the state machinery. Amidst a critical Covid situation as India reported more than 200,000 Covid cases for the first time since the pandemic began, the government of Uttarakhand, where Haridwar is located, was heavily criticised for allowing the Kumbh Mela festival to go ahead. It has been hailed as a super spreader event with contact-tracing unsuccessful even to this day, resulting in a large number of positive cases. Upto around 70 lakh devotees participated in this mammoth religious congregation. The Chief medical officer for Haridwar, Dr SK Jha, noted that between the 10th and 14th of April, more than 1,600 cases had been confirmed [7] amongst devotees. Although these statistics arise from the few that chose to get tested. Apart from the reported cases, many devotees are unaccounted for. Thus, leading to fears that the numbers are probably even higher. Further, the disease may have been [8] successfully spread across the nation by many of those who have returned home. The state of Madhya Pradesh reported that 99 per cent of those devotees who returned from Kumbh at Haridwar, have tested positive for the coronavirus. Several states have mandated the COVID-19 test or quarantine for the returnees from Kumbh in the wake of [9] rising COVID-19 cases. India recorded 11,000 cases on June 18th, 2020 and in the next 60 days, it added 35,000 new cases on average every day. In comparison, on 10 February 2021, when the second wave just started to gain momentum, the nation confirmed 11,000 [10] cases and in the following 50 days, the daily average was around 22,000 cases. It took a [11] turn in the next 10 days when cases peaked with the daily average reaching 89,800. Despite the warning signs that were visible in February according to Dr. A. Fathahudeen, (part of Kerala state's Covid taskforce); the government, the state, the system and the [12] citizens failed to get their act together. Perhaps everybody had their guards down due to the off-peak season, with the number of cases falling, that almost swayed the public to believe that they had overcome the coronavirus. It seemed like the repeat of the Tablighi Jamaat case at Nizamuddin (Delhi) which had sparked enormous debate last year. The similarities between the two are relentless with both being religious congregations in the midst of a pandemic, having indirectly contributed to the rise in cases.

Page: 3 Truth and Youth (TAY) Online Mag Journal KUMBH MELA: A Gathering Amidst Rising COVID Cases Voice of YOUTH https://truthandyouth.com/kumbh-mela-a-gathering-amidst-rising-covid-cases/ The uproar on social media arose again with people bringing out how religion had a key role to play in this crisis. Although this has little to do with religion and more with Politics. There were various other religious congregations that were held this year without following appropriate Covid protocol and precautions including Ramadan and Baisakhi celebrations. These are equally liable for the devastation that India is currently facing. Although, only the Kumbh Mela was state sponsored and endorsed. The Indian Railways made headlines when they announced Kumbh special trains and to clear traffic at Haridwar railway station for the ease of devotees attending Kumbh [13] Mela-2021. According to an Amar Ujala report, some of the major routes on which Indian Railways was going to run the Kumbh special train services were between Howrah- Dehradun-Howrah via Haridwar, Howrah-Yoganagri Rishikesh-Howrah, Patna-Kota- [14] Patna. Although the Uttarakhand government did try to seem politically correct and do the right thing by initially planning to make it mandatory to do prior registration at a [15] portal and furnish a Covid-19 negative report. But with the huge number of devotees that participate at Kumbh, it should have been a matter of common sense that this was doomed to fail. This not just endangered the lives and health of citizens but also the administration and law enforcement who were stationed on duty throughout. Further, the Chief Minister of Uttarakhand, Tirath Singh Rawat, went on to justify his support for the Mela. He seemed to indicate that the open air venue of the Kumbh Mela would ensure social distancing norms would be maintained as opposed to the closed space debacle at Tablighi [16] Jamaat. Although photographs from the Kumbh this year indicate otherwise, further revealing that enormous crowds had gathered without any precautionary protocol at the [17] river banks, as has been witnessed at Kumbh Mela for years. The CM went on record to make this outrageous, unscientific statement, convinced that it is a legitimate defense to the Covid situation: “Most importantly, Kumbh is at the bank of the River Ganga. Maa Ganga’s blessings are [18] there in the flow. So, there should be no corona”. At a historic time such as this, as the world looks onto Science and Medicine for providing solutions to this crisis, statements made by Indian political leaders have been perpetuating misinformation amongst the masses leading to chaos and violation of precautionary protocols. The second wave of the pandemic had already hit India by March 21 (2021). It was about this time that information about mutant variations was already available. Despite innumerable red flags, several national dailies carried full-page advertisements of Prime Minister Modi and Uttarakhand Chief Minister welcoming devotees to the Kumbh.

Page: 4 Truth and Youth (TAY) Online Mag Journal KUMBH MELA: A Gathering Amidst Rising COVID Cases Voice of YOUTH https://truthandyouth.com/kumbh-mela-a-gathering-amidst-rising-covid-cases/ [19] The ads also indicated that it was “clean” and “safe” to attend , jeopardising the lives of a large number of people. Further, the Chief Minister went on to publicly make statements like “Nobody will be stopped in the name of Covid-19 as we are sure the faith in God will [20] overcome the fear of the virus” Statements like these by leaders have the potential of creating a false sense of security amongst masses against the threat of a deadly virus that is still looming.

These projects are in different stages of plan ni ng/sanction/execution. Railways have reviewed status of pending land acquisition vis-i-vis amount deposited for land acquisition and lying idle with State Government. It is informed that Railways had deposited 1430.79 crore for acquisition of 1400 hectare land in 10 projects (Annexure-I), but land is yet to be handed over by State Government of Andhra Pradesh. This is resulting into delay in execution of projecb, besides blockage of Railway's capital with State Government, which otherwise could have been utilized for execution of projects in the State. Further, Railways have taken up 07 projecB (05 New Line and 02 Doubling) on cost sharing basis with Government of Andhra Pradesh (Annexure-Il). All cost sharing pQects in Andhra Pradesh are iuffering due to non deposition of cost share amount of 12956.47 crore by Government of Andhra Pradesh. State Government has to confirm to share 50o/o cost of Bhadrachalam-Kovur new line project (Andhra Pradesh poftion) as Government of Andhra Pradesh is reluctant to deposit their cost share in cost sharing p0ecB.

  • Gidni 57 Kumbh Mela 2013. Religious Rituals And
    Section – Political Sciences GIDNI KUMBH MELA 2013. RELIGIOUS RITUALS AND PERFORMANCE FACING MEDIA COLONIALISM. Traian Penciuc, Assist. Prof., PhD, University of Arts, Târgu-Mureș Abstract: Kumbh Mela is a pan-Indian religious gathering. It is considered by Hindus to be the oldest religious festival known in the World History. Undoubted, it is the biggest: according to the Indian officials more than 100 millions people attended the 2013 Kumbh Mela. The devotee’s main purpose is to acquire a strong purification of karma through bathing in the Ganges River in some auspicious days. But Kumbh Mela has been always a religious fair also, a place where believers are searching for their gurus and “holy men” are gathering their followers flock. Anything goes here and everything is transformed in a performance: lepers, fakirs laying on barbed wire, sadhus reciting the puranas by hard, yogis meditating – all are performing in public forming what BBC has named “the greatest show on Earth”. In the last two decades, media attention and aggression on the Mela festival has raised, due to his exotic potential to the Western audience, but also because of the increased usage of media means by the religious leaders and organisations in their communication and advertising. Today Kumbh Mela is under media siege. Televisions, documentary producers, and tourists, eager to capture every moment, aggress pilgrims’ privacy. Monastic congregations’ use media for advertising and, even the pilgrims and sadhus themselves, capture memorable religious moments on their smart phones. The paper is presenting the influence of the global media intrusion on this archaic event in the purpose to appreciate in what aspects, and how far, the deep religious mentality and mind of the Hindu believer has been changed.
