Kumbh 2019: Kinnar Akhada make debut for 'Shahi Snan'

The Kumbh Mela, for the first time, saw the participation from "Kinnar Akhada", whose head priest calls it a step forward towards inclusiveness of transgenders in the society. Laxmi Narayan Tripathi from the akhada is thrilled to be a part of it at Kumbh.  
About 12 crore people are expected to visit Kumbh between now and March, when the festival will come to a close, for a holy dip at the Sangam.
