The 2025 Prayag Maha Kumbh Lela is currently taking place in India, marking the largest human gathering ever recorded. With an expected attendance of 400 million to 450 million people, this grand event has already surpassed expectations, with over 500 million visitors as of February 14, 2025.

This massive pilgrimage, known as the “Festival of the Sacred Pitcher,” takes place along the sacred Ganges River at Triveni Sangam in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh. The Uttar Pradesh government has reported that more than 500 million devotees have taken a holy dip in the river since the event began on January 13, 2025.

The Prayag Maha Kumbh Lela is a 45-day event that celebrates the astronomical alignment of Jupiter, the Sun, and the Moon. This year’s gathering is particularly significant as it marks the completion of a 12-Kumbh Mela cycle, an event that occurs once every 144 years.

Joseph Campbell in one of his series episodes said the people waist high in the Ganges and other bodies of water in India are downriver from urinating and defecating cattle and other animals and are exposed to diseases.

the open border ‘race and culture don’t matter’ ‘conservatives’ want to bring this here to america by importing 100 million+ non-Christians to drown out our Christian heritage.

Diversity is NOT a strength even though the globalist Bush family wants you to think it is.

the “Festival of the Sacred Pitcher"

The US has those when the MLB teams sign multimillion dollar contracts for left handers headed for the Hall of Fame.
