The Mahakumbh 2025, a grand confluence of spirituality and culture, has captured global attention well ahead of its commencement. Its official website, https://kumbh.gov.in/, launched on October 6, 2024, by Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, has become a vital resource for devotees worldwide. With over 33 lakh visitors from 183 countries and 6,200 cities by January 4, the site reflects the event’s growing international appeal.
Designed to provide seamless access to information, the portal offers comprehensive details on Mahakumbh’s traditions, rituals, and historical significance. “The website is a gateway for millions to connect with the festival’s essence, whether they are planning a visit or simply exploring its cultural richness,” said Sripati Tripathi, part of the PR team overseeing the platform.
Key features include highlighted bathing dates like Makar Sankranti, Mauni Amavasya, and Basant Panchami, which are expected to draw massive crowds. Visitors can also explore extensive travel options, eco-friendly accommodations, and safety guidelines to ensure a smooth pilgrimage experience. A vibrant media gallery showcases visuals and videos from past Kumbh events, offering glimpses of the festival’s grandeur.
The portal’s global impact is evident in testimonials from users like Emily Johnson, a yoga enthusiast from the U.S., who praised it for blending tradition with technology. “It’s fascinating to see how ancient practices are preserved in such a modern way,” she noted. Indian devotees, too, find the platform invaluable. “From key dates to bookings, everything is in one place,” said Rajesh Kumar from Varanasi.
With analytics showing high engagement in travel and spiritual content, the website underscores Prayagraj’s evolution as a global pilgrimage hub. Government spokesperson Shishir Singh remarked, “This Digital Mahakumbh bridges tradition and innovation, uniting humanity in a shared celebration of spirituality and culture.”
