Kumbh Mela should now only be symbolic, appeals PM Modi

PM Narendra Modi speaks to Swami Avdheshanand Giri over telephone, requests that Kumbh Mela should now only be symbolic in the wake of Covid-19 pandemic, now that two shahi snans have concluded.

We respect Prime Minister's appeal. I request the people to not come for snan in large numbers, in the wake of Covid19 situation, and follow all rules: Swami Avdheshanand Giri, Acharya Mahamandleshwar, Juna Akhara
