‘Went To Kumbh With Excitement’

After


Vijay
Deverakonda,

Nimrat
Kaur
visits
the
Maha
Kumbh
Mela
and
takes
a
dip
in
the
Triveni
Sangam
at
Prayagraj.

‘Words
fail
me
to
describe
this
experience…
as
I
assimilate
what
I
have
been
so
blessed
to
participate
in,’
she
posts.

‘Having
grown
up
in
a
Sikh
family,
the
significance
of
the
Kumbh
Mela

snan
is
a
fairly
new
concept.’

‘The
unparalleled
historic
event
of
the
Mahakumbh
actually
made
me
deep
dive
into
the
mythology
and
history
of
this
mesmerising
festival,’
she
adds,
posting
pictures
from
her
visit.

‘One
that
this
year
celebrated
the
coming
together
of
an
ocean
of
humanity,
the
largest
ever
our
mortal
eyes
will
witness.’

‘I
am
in
immeasurable
awe
of
the
sheer
faith
and
devotion
that
has
fuelled
people
of
all
ages
and
backgrounds
to
take
momentous
journeys
and
efforts
just
to
set
foot
here.’

‘Deeply
grateful
for
all
the
tireless
efforts
being
put
in
by
the
police
and
local
administrations
to
manage
this
mammoth
event.’

‘Running
on
probably
2-3
hours
of
sleep
for
a
long
time
now
and
constantly
dealing
with
the
ever
changing
dynamics
and
demands
with
epic
proportions,
it
takes
super
human
capacities
to
make
anything
happen
at
this
point.’

‘My
salutations
especially
the
brilliant
Ganga
Task
Force
for
their
relentless
efforts
in
making
my
experience
thoroughly
flawless
and
doing
it
all
with
smiles
on
their
faces.’

‘Went
in
with
equal
amounts
of
nervousness,
excitement,
anticipation
and
curiosity.
Have
come
back
with
a
renewed
sense
of
awe,
inspiration
and
pride
for
our
unparalleled
culture,
history
and
that
which
binds
us
all
in
this
mortal
journey,
faith.’

Nimrat
takes
a
moments
to
meditate
as
well.
