The Maha Kumbh

Today Maha Kumbh started. It's world's biggest religious gathering that happens on this planet. 

This year about 400 million people are expected to reach Prayagraj between 13january to 28 th Feb. That's about 10 times the population Sweden.

I have been deep diving on this from a couple of times and I was surprised to find that during Kumbh, the area where the fair happens is converted to a district this UP gets an additional district during this time. The whole time is run like any other districts in India which a DC and DSP etc. 

While the Kumbh Mela is a big wonder the way it's run and executed is another such wonder.
