Penned down by Prasoon Joshi, a special Kumbh Anthem in the voice of Shankar Mahadevan has been released by the Uttar Pradesh Government which invites us to see the sadhus and sages dancing in the devotion.
A four minute video is a tribute to the 55-day long Kumbh Mela at the Triveni Sangam in Prayagraj city of Uttar Pradesh. The video gives us the glimpse of the huge religious gathering capturing sadhus, meditating at the ghats and the famous Ganga Aarti done by the Brahmins of the city. It has all the essential elements of Kumbh, enough to make you plan a trip to Ardh Kumbh in Prayagraj.
