Mahakumbh 2025: Innumerable viral events that captured the attention of the internet were triggered by the festival.
With over 64 crore people, the Maha Kumbh Mela 2025, which took place in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, from January 13 to February 26, ended up becoming the biggest religious event in the world. This momentous occasion, which only happens once every 12 years, was made even more significant by a rare cosmic alignment that hasn’t happened in 144 years. In addition to its profound spiritual significance, the festival generated innumerable viral moments that captured the attention of the internet. These are a few of them.
- The tale of a 65-year-old Muzaffarnagar man who pulled a bullock cart to get his 92-year-old mother to the Triveni Sangam was among the most touching. Despite his serious health issues, Malik attributed his improved state to his mother’s blessings and tried to show his appreciation by bringing her to the holy occasion for a holy bath. His devotion, which was dubbed “Kalyug ka Shravan” by internet users, resonated with the renowned filial piety of Shravan Kumar and reached millions of people online.
- The story of Abhey Singh, an aeronautical engineer from IIT Bombay who became a spiritual seeker. He was also referred to as “IIT Baba.” Throughout the festival, his thought-provoking conversations and unorthodox approach attracted a lot of social media attention.
- A video of Madhya Pradesh 16-year-old Monalisa Bhosle selling rudraksha garlands at the Kumbh Mela went viral, instantly making her famous. She gained notoriety as the “Mona Lisa,” thanks to her brilliant smile and stunning amber eyes, and she will soon make her Bollywood debut. But the constant attention interfered with her work, so she left for Indore.
- In an act of kindness, a woman submerged her phone in the waters of Triveni Sangam to digitally enjoy the holy plunge with her husband, who was unable to attend the festival. Viewers were startled and amused by this contemporary take on tradition.
- A seer who rode a Harley Davidson motorcycle made a spectacular arrival to the festival, adding a contemporary touch to customs and captivating both festival goers and online users.
- A distinctive ‘digital scan’ service was established by a local entrepreneur for enthusiasts who couldn’t make it to the festival in person. For a charge, he submerged passport-sized photographs of people into the sacred waters so they could participate virtually.
- The Mahakumbh flag was raised 13,000 feet over Bangkok by Anamika Sharma of Prayagraj. Ms. Sharma is seen waving the Mahakumbh flag prior to boarding a flight in an Instagram video. Shortly after, she is seen jumping out of the aircraft and raising the flag in midair, thereby extending an invitation to the Mahakumbh 2025 to everyone on the planet.
- A festival-goer who looked remarkably like the literary character ‘Harry Potter’ was sighted at the Mela, exciting visitors and bringing a humorous touch to the occasion. The man was seen eating meals on a pattal, a plate made from dried leaves, in a brief video that went popular on social media. He was wearing pants and a puffer jacket. His decision to eat with his bare hands instead of the customary fork and spoon was noteworthy.
The festival’s distinctive fusion of tradition and contemporary is highlighted by these and other occasions that have added to the 2025 Maha Kumbh Mela’s rich tapestry of experiences.
