Mahakumbh 2025 in Prayagraj to drive Rs 2 Lakh Crore in trade, boosting local economy

The Mahakumbh 2025, beginning in Prayagraj, is expected to generate around Rs 2 lakh crore in trade, with major contributions from tourism, accommodations, religious items, and transportation.

The Mahakumbh 2025, which commenced today in Prayagraj, is set to generate an estimated trade worth Rs 2 lakh crore, according to the Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT). The month-long religious event, regarded as the world's largest human gathering, is expected to draw around 400 million visitors, providing a major boost to local businesses, tourism, and employment opportunities.
CAIT emphasized that the accommodation and tourism sectors will be the primary contributors to this economic surge, with local hotels, guesthouses, and temporary accommodation expected to generate approximately Rs 40,000 crore. Praveen Khandelwal, Secretary General of CAIT, shared, &ldquo;The Mahakumbh is poised to generate significant economic activity, with estimated total spending exceeding Rs 2 lakh crore. This includes spending on hotels, guesthouses, food, religious items, healthcare, and other services.&rdquo;
In addition to accommodation and tourism, the food and beverage sector, including packaged foods, drinks, meals, and snacks, is expected to contribute Rs 20,000 crore. Religious items like Ganga water, lamps, incense, and sacred books will also generate an estimated Rs 20,000 crore in trade. Transportation, including local and interstate services, taxis, and freight, will bring in around Rs 10,000 crore, while tourism-related services such as travel packages and guides are projected to generate another Rs 10,000 crore.
Other sectors contributing to the trade include temporary medical camps, Ayurvedic products, and medicines, which are expected to generate Rs 3,000 crore, while e-services such as e-ticketing, mobile charging stations, and Wi-Fi facilities will bring in Rs 1,000 crore. Additionally, the entertainment and media sector, including advertising and promotional activities, is projected to generate Rs 10,000 crore in trade.
The Uttar Pradesh government has recognized the immense potential of the Mahakumbh in boosting the regional economy and promoting tourism on an international scale. This large-scale event not only benefits local industries but also plays a crucial role in the overall economic growth of the state and the nation. Mahakumbh 2025 is expected to create lasting opportunities for trade, employment, and economic development in Prayagraj and its surrounding areas.

Laurene Powell, wife of Steve Jobs embraces spirituality at Maha Kumbh Mela

Laurene Powell Jobs, widow of Steve Jobs, visits Prayagraj to take part in the Maha Kumbh Mela.

Laurene Powell Jobs, also known as 'Kamala,' the widow of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, has arrived in Prayagraj to take part in the Maha Kumbh Mela.
A devoted disciple of Swami Kailashnand Giri, the Acharya Mahamandleshwar of Niranjini Akhara, Laurene reached the spiritual camp on Saturday night, accompanied by a 40-member team. She will stay at the Kumbh and has plans to take a holy dip in the Ganga.

Dressed in a peach-yellow salwar suit, with a Rakshasutra on her arm and a Rudraksha mala around her neck, 'Kamala' was warmly welcomed at the camp on Sunday. The reception was marked by a grand trumpet fanfare, and she was served hot masala tea in a traditional kulhad.
Laurene was given the Hindu name 'Kamala' by Swami Kailashnand Giri, symbolizing her spiritual commitment. She will remain at the Niranjini Akhara camp until January 15, before heading back to the US to attend the swearing-in ceremony of President-elect Donald Trump on January 20.
Before her arrival in Prayagraj, Laurene visited the Kashi Vishwanath Temple in Varanasi on Saturday, accompanied by Swami Kailashanand Giri Maharaj of Niranjani Akhara. Laurene, dressed in a salwar suit with a dupatta on her head, offered prayers from outside the main temple area. Swami Kailashanand explained that according to the temple&rsquo;s tradition, only Hindus are allowed to touch the Shivling, which is why Laurene prayed from outside the sanctum.
"I am an Acharya, and it is my duty to uphold traditions, principles, and conduct," Swami Kailashanand explained to news agency ANI.
"She is my daughter," he added. "All of our family participated in the 'Abhishek' and worshipped. She was given prasad and a garland. However, the tradition is that anyone other than a Hindu cannot touch Kashi Vishwanath. If I do not maintain this tradition, then it will be broken."
Swami Kailashanand also spoke to ANI about Laurene&rsquo;s deep respect for Indian traditions and spirituality. "She is very religious and spiritual," he said. "She wants to learn about our traditions. She respects me as a father and a Guru. Everyone can learn from her. Indian traditions are being accepted by the world."
The Maha Kumbh Mela, held at the confluence of the Ganga, Yamuna, and the mythical Saraswati rivers, saw a massive influx of devotees on Sunday. Nearly 50 lakh pilgrims participated in the holy dip ahead of Paush Purnima, the first bathing festival.
The ceremonial Amrit Snan (auspicious bath) is scheduled for January 14, coinciding with Makar Sankranti. All akharas, including Niranjini Akhara, will perform their ordained dips in a sequence, with the Niranjini Akhara scheduled to bathe between 7:05 am and 7:45 am.
