# How many people came to the Maha Kumbh 2025 in Prayagraj?



## Answers

### Answer by Ngoc Tran

The Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj, held from 13 January to 26 February 2025, was one of the largest gatherings of people in human history. The Uttar Pradesh government said more than 66 crore people took a holy dip at the Triveni Sangam, where the Ganga, Yamuna and the mythical Saraswati meet.

A Maha Kumbh is held every 144 years according to tradition, which made this one especially significant. The event saw massive arrangements, including a temporary city, special trains and digital crowd monitoring. It was also marked by tragedy: a stampede on Mauni Amavasya, 29 January, killed several pilgrims, raising questions about crowd management.
