Stampede Horror at Maha Kumbh: Chaos, Panic, and Heartbreaking Loss 

The Maha Kumbh Mela, a grand spiritual gathering that draws millions, turned into a scene of unimaginable horror as a stampede broke out at the Sangam ghat on Mauni Amavasya. Eyewitnesses recount the harrowing moments of chaos, desperation, and grief as they searched for their missing loved ones amid an atmosphere of confusion and official silence. 

A Day of Uncertainty and Despair 

By 9 PM, the day had witnessed relentless panic and grief. Outside the mortuary of Motilal Nehru Medical College, a thinning crowd of relatives still searched for missing family members. Earlier, the city’s hospitals had been flooded with desperate families seeking information. Roads were blocked, key routes barricaded, and official communication remained scarce. Even by evening, no confirmed count of the deceased had been announced, only repeated appeals to stay calm and ignore rumors. 

Voices of Agony and Frustration 

As officials struggled to manage the crisis, eyewitnesses described the chilling moments leading up to the disaster. Ajay Kumar Yadav, searching for his missing sister Renu, expressed his distress: “I asked the police to make an announcement, but they told me to wait in line. How can we wait when our loved ones are missing?” 

The aftermath of the stampede was evident in the scattered remains—torn sandals, clothes, water bottles, and personal belongings littered the ground as security forces attempted to restore order. A viral video showed panicked devotees pushing open a barricade as security personnel struggled to contain the crowd. 

Eyewitness Accounts of the Tragedy 

Many accounts pointed to overcrowding at the ghat due to three out of four access gates being closed, funneling devotees into a single passage. The sudden swell of people turned deadly as a barrier gave way. 

A Tragedy That Could Have Been Prevented 

The Maha Kumbh Mela, touted as a symbol of state efficiency, has now become a grim reminder of the perils of mismanagement. While meticulous records were kept of every visitor and every dip taken in the river, the authorities failed when it mattered most—ensuring the safety of the devotees. 

In the wake of this disaster, questions linger. How did the crowd control measures fail so drastically? Why was there no proper emergency response? As grieving families struggle to make sense of their loss, they demand answers—and justice—for the lives lost in the chaos. 

For now, Prayagraj mourns. And the echoes of the desperate cries—ignored in the moment—will haunt this Maha Kumbh forever. For latest news India in Hindi, subscribe to our newsletter!

Kumbh Mela 🏵️

The Mahakumbh is one of the world's most solemn and largest religious meetings, held with great dedication and spiritual passion. This once-in-twelve-year event is more than just a festival; it is a convergence of culture, faith, and spirituality that attracts millions of followers from all over the world.

During the Kumbh Mela, several ceremonies take place, including the traditional procession of Akharas known as ‘Peshwai’ on elephant backs, horses, and chariots, the shining swords and rituals of Naga Sadhus during ‘Shahi Snaan’, and many other cultural activities that attract millions of pilgrims to the event.

Origin of Kumbh Mela from the scriptures:

The story of Mahakumbh begins with the Devas (gods) and Asuras (demons) churning the ocean (Samudra Manthan) in search of the nectar of immortality (Amrit). The significance of Kumbh is centered on the account of the Samudra Manthan, which was performed by the gods and demons to gain the priceless Ratnas, or jewels, and amrita, or nectar of immortality. The mountain Mandrachala served as a churning stick, with Nagraja Vasuki acting as the rope. Lord Vishnu himself took the form of Kasava, or tortoise, and gave the foundation for the mountain Mandrachala, fearing that it would slip and sink into the ocean. The first to emerge from this churning was poison, which was consumed by Lord Shiva, who later became known as the Nilkantha.

After churning the ocean, Dhanvantri emerged carrying a pitcher of amrita, or the elixir of immortality. To make sure the Asuras don’t get it, Lord Vishnu asked Garuda Dev, to fly away from there with the pot of nectar. When Garuda Dev was carrying the pot, four drops of nectar fell at four places, Haridwar, Ujjain, Nashik, and Prayagraj. Since then, these four places have become great pilgrimage sites.

In other texts, it is said that Indra’s son, Jayant, ran off with the pot. The Sun, his son Shani, Brihaspati (the planet Jupiter), and the Moon went along to protect him and the pot. As Jayant ran, the amrita spilled at four spots: Haridwar, Prayagraj, Ujjain, and Nashik-Trimbakeshwar. He ran for 12 days, and as one day of the Devas equals one year of humans, Kumbh Mela is celebrated at these locations every 12 years, based on the relative positions of the Sun, the Moon, and Jupiter. 

All four places are located on the banks of rivers — Haridwar has the Ganga, Prayagraj is the sangam or meeting point of Ganga, Yamuna and the Saraswati, Ujjain has the Kshipra, and Nashik-Trimbakeshwar the Godavari.

It is believed that taking a dip in these rivers during Kumbh, amid the specific alignment of the heavenly bodies, washes away one’s sins and accrues punya (spiritual merit).

The traditional Kumbh Mela is celebrated every three years, the Ardh (half) Kumbh Mela every six years in Haridwar and Allahabad (Prayag), and the Purna (full) Kumbh Mela every twelve years at four locations: Prayag (Allahabad), Haridwar, Ujjain, and Nashik, dependent on planetary motions. The Maha Kumbh Mela is held at Prayag after 144 years (after 12 ‘Purna Kumbh Melas’).

If we want to understand the historical reference, then you can find the mention of a big gathering like Kumbh Mela in the 19th century, but even before that, if we look at the basis of this gathering, then there used to be the festival of Magh Snan in which people used to bathe in holy rivers so that they could wash away their sins and attain salvation. In ancient texts like Rigveda, stories of Samudra Manthan and Amrit have been given, which help us to understand the basic basis of this festival. Then if we move ahead, in the time of the Gupta period and Mauryan period also, there were many such festivals.

We find the mention of Kumbh Mela. With time, Kumbh Mela became a symbol of unity and spiritual knowledge. At this conference, many saints, ascetics, and devotees started to meet. Kumbh Mela is held at four holy places. The first place is Prayagraj. Prayagraj is known for Triveni Sangam, where three holy rivers meet – Ganga, Yamun, and the hidden Saraswati River. The second place where Kumbh is held is Haridwar. Here, the holy river Ganga comes down from the mountains. Where people take a bath in the Ganga to purify their mind and soul.

Apart from the Ganga River, Haridwar is also known for its peace and spiritual energy. Then comes the third place which is Nashik. Nashik is located on the banks of the Godavari River. There are many religious beliefs and stories from the Puranas here too. The fourth Kumbh place is Ujjain. Ujjain is a city located on the banks of the Shipra River which has a religious and spiritual history. Bathing here also becomes a part of the spiritual journey of the people. It is decided at which of these four places the Kumbh Mela will be held, based on the astronomically aligned places.

Astrological alignments for the occurrence of Kumbh Mela:

As it occurs in 12 years, the time depends on the position of satellite bodies, especially Jupiter. Jupiter takes about 12 years to complete one orbit around the Sun and the places are decided according to those 12 years. Kumbh Mela is held at every place once in 12 years. Kumbh Mela is held when Jupiter enters a specific zodiac sign and any kind of religious work is considered auspicious during this time.

When Jupiter is in Aquarius or Kumbh Rashi, and the Sun and Moon in Aries and Sagittarius respectively, Kumbh is held at Haridwar.

When Jupiter is in Tauras, and the Sun and Moon are in Capricorn or Makar (thus, Makar Sankranti is also in this period) the Kumbh is held at Prayag.

When Jupiter is in Leo or Simha, and the Sun and Moon are in Cancer, the Kumbh is held at Nashik and Trimbakeshwar, which is why they are also called the Simhastha Kumbh.

Significance and employment generation due to Kumbh Mela:

Saints and sages from the monasteries and religious personalities come, there are also events of Katha and Kirtan, many people from different states come who showcase different cultures here, you will also get to see the performance of their folk songs, dances and arts in this Kumbh Mela.

UNESCO has recognized the Kumbh Mela as the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity and this shows the cultural significance of Kumbh Mela for India.

The significance of Kumbh Mela is not limited only to the religious perspective, if we look at it from the economic perspective, during the Kumbh Mela, lakhs of people travel from one place to another, which gives a boost to the travel industry and provides huge support to the economy. If we try to understand it in terms of data, the government spent Rs 4200 crore to organize the Kumbh Mela 2019, but the economic value generated in this Kumbh Mela was Rs 1,20,000 crore, and at the same time, 6 lakh people got jobs in a single Kumbh Mela. If we talk only about the hospitality industry, then 1 lakh jobs were generated in these.

This year, the government spent around Rs 7000 crore and the economic value predicted to be generated is around Rs 2,00,000 crore.

Genuinely, thank you for coming up with the idea of Lune, Soleil, you and I. It has helped carve the path into La Familia Grande de GFFC.

Do not ask why I'm using random Spanish I just am

*sobs* yeah ish. This is a very emotional moment indeed. It started when I felt protective over you and adopted you as my Brother. Then you had me requesting we should adapt @soleilonthesun and I said let's add @melodiclune as the responsible elder sister.

Then I met @hooudie212back and we became homies 🤧✨ and decided to adopt @bueris and @riririnnnn and became a mini happy family in ourselves.

Somewhere on the way @soleilonthesun had overflowing love for @milkteansugar and ended up adopting her.

And it all tipped over and started to connect when I came to know @luvingshidou is an aunt to @soleilonthesun and we had a long lost brother @refrigeratedboombursts that we never knew about (thanks to kumbh ka mela 🙄)

And now thanks to all the progress we've made today we have ourselves a cousin @duckydee-0 and a very cool aunt ( @luvingshidou ) [ having shidou as our uncle? CRAZYYYYY ] who we can expect a lot of spoiling from in the future 😋

We are awaiting the legendary stone paper scissors match between @glue-thief , @galaxynajma and @getosugurusbangs to end so we have ourselves grandparents who can tell us their wisdom stories too, while we await for @marcsnuffy 's so we can have our first parent established.

Stampede at Maha Kumbh: 30 Injured, Holy Dip Cancelled

Following the incident, the Akhil Bharatiya Akhara Parishad took the significant decision to call off the Amrit Snan for Mauni Amavasya. Mahant Ravindra Puri, President of the Akhara Parishad, stated, "Seeing what happened this morning, we have decided to cancel the snan. Our saints and seers were ready, but we prioritize safety."

Akhada Parishad General Secretary Mahant Hari Giri also urged devotees to perform the holy bath in the Ganga at their local areas instead of traveling to Prayagraj.

Government Response and Crowd Control Measures

Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke to Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and directed immediate relief efforts. Authorities closed pontoon bridges to prevent further crowd surges and ensured strict security measures.

To manage the overwhelming crowd, authorities deployed AI-powered surveillance, drones, and additional police personnel. The Kumbh Mela area has been designated a no-vehicle zone, with local residents encouraged to use two-wheelers only for essential travel.

Unprecedented Pilgrim Influx and Rail Arrangements

With nearly five crore people already in Prayagraj a day before the Amrit Snan, authorities had predicted the crowd to reach 10 crore on Mauni Amavasya. The Indian Railways is running 360 trains, including 190 special services, ensuring smooth travel for pilgrims.

Significance of Mauni Amavasya

The Amrit Snan on Mauni Amavasya is considered the most auspicious bathing day of the Maha Kumbh. This year, it holds special spiritual significance due to the rare celestial alignment of ‘Triveni Yog,’ occurring once every 144 years. Traditionally, the Akharas belonging to the Sanyasi, Bairagi, and Udaseen sects take the holy dip in a grand procession.

Despite the unfortunate incident, the Maha Kumbh 2025 continues to witness an overwhelming participation, with over 15 crore pilgrims taking the sacred dip since its commencement on January 13. Authorities remain on high alert to prevent further mishaps as the festival progresses until February 26. For top news headlines India in Hindi, subscribe to our newsletter!
