Indigo Airline CEO Pieter Elbers recently visited the Maha Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj, joining millions of devotees at the much-awaited event of the year. The Mela is known for its vast gathering and profound spiritual significance and has attracted a lot of renowned people across the globe.

Elbers shared a series of photos from the sacred event on his LinkedIn profile, offering glimpses of the Maha Kumbh experience—featuring the crowd, the evening aarti, naga sadhus, and the overall spiritual atmosphere.

Pieter Elbers wrote in the caption, "Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj. Once in 144 years...the largest gathering of mankind on planet Earth. 45 Crores...450 million visitors in only 45 days. The sheer scale is impossible to grasp... similar to Europe's population and more than the USA. This weekend, on Republic Day I was at the Maha Kumbh Mela, celebrating the confluence of India's culture, spirituality and heritage."

In his post, he also talks about finding peace in the chaos of today’s world, he added, "No word, sentence, or picture can properly describe this place or the energy. I took the holy early morning dip at 5 am in the sacred confluence of rivers, the holy Sangam with about a million at the same time, surrounded by chants, prayers, devotion and the unity of humanity. Found an inexplicable moment of peace in the chaos. Humbled and grateful to be a part of something so divine, a once-in-a-lifetime experience that I will cherish forever." Check His Post Here

The CEO also expressed his gratitude to the Indigo staff at Prayagraj Airport for their excellent work during the peak hours of the event.

Elbers has been with Indigo since 2022. Prior to that, he served as the President and CEO of KLM, the national airline of the Netherlands.
