The Maha Kumbh 2025 has so far drawn around 60 crore pilgrims to the sacred confluence of the Ganga, Yamuna, and the mythical Saraswati for a holy dip.
Digital Snan Viral Video:
A local entrepreneur, Dipak Goyal offered a ‘digital snan’ for those who could not visit the Maha Kumbh, allowing devotees to send their photographs via WhatsApp for ritual immersion in the Sangam. This symbolic act is offered at a price of Rs 1,100 per person. A video showcasing this unique service has gone viral, drawing both criticism and curiosity. Some users ridiculed the idea, calling it an exploitation of faith, while others saw it as a convenient alternative.
About Maha Kumbh:
