Maha Kumbh 2025 has emerged as one of India’s largest religious gatherings, with nearly 60 crore devotees already taking a holy dip at the Triveni Sangam. According to a statement from the Uttar Pradesh government, the number is expected to exceed 65 crore by Wednesday, February 26, coinciding with the auspicious occasion of Maha Shivratri, which marks the festival’s conclusion. Maha Kumbh 2025 began on January 12 and will officially end on February 26.
While the event has attracted high-profile personalities, millions of ordinary devotees have also made their way to Prayagraj. However, they have faced significant price surges in flights, accommodations, and local transportation.
A report by LocalCircles revealed that 87% of air travelers to Prayagraj paid between 50% and 300% more than usual airfares. Similarly, 67% of visitors staying in the city reported higher hotel rates due to the overwhelming demand and limited availability. Despite these challenges, Maha Kumbh 2025 has drawn people from diverse backgrounds, reaffirming its significance as a spiritual and cultural phenomenon.
