Best place in the world today: Foreign devotees on Mahakumbh

Prayagraj: As the Mahakumbh Mela 2025 enters its final stretch, foreign devotees from across the world are around to witness the grand spectacle.

A pilgrim from Belgium, Edward, speaking about his experience at the mela, stated that currently, it was the "best place" in the world.

"The experience at Mahakumbh is beautiful and fantastic. The crowd and the people are so friendly. It is the best place in the world for today," he said.

Another devotee from France also shared his thoughts on the occasion, stating that it was a "great" place to be here.

"I came here from France. It is a wonderful place to be here...It's amazing what we see here... We are waiting for the Babas," he said.

Meanwhile, Uttar Pradesh Police have ramped up security measures for the holy bath on Wednesday during the grand mela on the occasion of Maghi Purnima.

With millions of devotees expected to attend the festivities, the police left no stone unturned to ensure a safe and smooth experience for all.

Deputy Inspector General (DIG) Vaibhav Krishna said that to manage the massive crowds, the police have declared a no-vehicle zone, allowing only emergency vehicles to pass through.

Special arrangements have been made for crowd movement, and vehicles of Kalpvasis (pilgrims who stay at the Kumbh Mela for a month) will be allowed to enter the fair after bathing.

To avoid chaos, the police have planned special travel arrangements for the day.

With two important bathing festivals still left, the number of those taking a bath is expected to go above 500 million. (ANI)
