Despite distorted malicious narratives of foreign funded liberals;
walking-rubbing shoulders with lakhs of people for days in Prayagraj, I witnessed the unchanged basic ethos & undeterred faith in #KumbhMela .
🙏🏻@myogiadityanath for flawless arrangements.

The Samudra Manthan & the struggle between Gods & Demons for Amrit signifies the struggle between knowledge - wisdom & ignorance,
when control over pancha gyanaendriya, pancha Karmendriyas is achieved, the Nectar begins to emanate in the human body called Ghat/ Kumbh. #KumbhMela

सितासिते सरिते यत्र सङ्गते तत्राप्लुतासो दिवमुत्पतन्ति ।ये वै तन्वं विसृजन्ति धीरास्ते जनासो अमृतत्वं भजन्ते॥-Rigveda, Khilsukta

He who bathes at the sangam attains Swarga, the courageous individuals who sacrifice their body in the #TriveniSangam attain moksha.

This post set us thinking.
#kumbh2019 #प्रयागकुंभ #Prayagraj is much more than these.
Made famous as 'siberian birds' - these are actually named Palla's Gull. They are NOT from Siberia @PrayagrajKumbh @uptourismgov @incredibleindia.
Now we are starting a new series - #kumbhbirds

https://twitter.com/Sachislife/status/1093536321824448513

This is one of the rarest birds of North India and it is a very splendid sight to see. This is found only near river banks.
Spotted at #Kumbh2019 #KumbhMela2019 #kumbhbirds
@ornithology @upecotourism @BirdWatchingMag @BirdWatchDaily @uptourismgov @PrayagrajKumbh @incredibleindia

Found mainly in the jungles some of these are often found near cities and often unnoticed by people. They are also called 'seven sisters' as they are often found in groups of seven.

Kumbh Calling. Will be at Kumbh for the first time in life, traveling solo so no chance of getting lost, but let's see what I find & what finds me. If you are in #prayagrajkumbh for next 4 days, connect on. #travel #KumbhMela #kumbh

My Kumbh journey begins with Triveni Arti - live music, everyone singing along #travel #kumbhmela #Prayagraj

Baba Munna Giri of Ramanandi Juna Akhara, who lives on a 2.5 X 3 feet asana, even sleeps on that. A dhuni is always next to him. #travel #kumbh #prayagrajkumbh

कुंभ में ध्यान रखने योग्य कुछ बातें -
1) एक दम स्नान के समय पहुँचने की योजना न बनायें। एक दिन पहले पहुँचें।
2) अगर अपनी गाड़ी से आ रहे हैं तो उसे निश्चिन्त हो शहर के बाहर आधिकारिक पार्किंग स्थलों में पार्क कर के संगम तक चल रही निशुल्क शटल सेवा का लाभ लें।

करोड़ो लोगों का आना जाना है, सुरक्षा से कोई समझौता अनेकों का काल बन सकता है, इसलिए @Uppolice के साथ सहयोग करें। ट्रैफिक इत्यादि की सुचारू व्यवस्थाएँ हैं। थोड़ा अगर चलना भी पड़े तो इसको इस महायज्ञ में अपनी आहुति समझें।
#KumbhMela2019 2/n

अनेकों रैन बसेरे बनें हैं, अगर दो से अधिक संख्या में आते हैं तो कहीं भी रुकें,केवल सोना ही तो है, अनेकों सार्वजनिक शौचालय हैं , निवृत्त होइए। नाक भौं सिकोड़ने से पहले सोचिये की प्रयास किस दिशा में हैं।
असंख्य भंडारे हैं कहीं भी भोजन कीजिये।

Spirituality, politics and tourism: India's Kumbh Mela, the world’s largest religious festival, begins Tuesday. Here are some glimpses from the eight-week festival at Prayagraj in Uttar Pradesh. reut.rs/2D8ZKti by @AlasdairPal @dansiddiqui #KumbhMela2019 1/5

Authorities expect up to 150 million people, including a million foreign visitors, to bathe at the confluence of the river Ganges, the Yamuna, and the mythical Saraswati. reut.rs/2FwfFUh via @ReutersTV 2/5

Pilgrims, led by naked, ash-smeared ascetics will plunge themselves into the cold waters during the first Shahi Snan, or Royal Bath. Devotees believe bathing in these waters absolves people of sins and brings salvation from the cycle of life and death. 3/5
