Many types of controversies have started simultaneously in Uttar Pradesh regarding the Mahakumbh to be held next year. Recently, the sages and saints had held a conference and decided that this time, people of any other religion will not be allowed to open shops or set up camps during the Kumbh. The sages and saints talked about this with the people of the local administration but the local administration has refused it. Local administration and organizers of the fair say that there is an auction process to provide space for shops or permission for camping in Mahakumbh, that is, the administration does not make allotment directly on anyone’s application. The place is given to the one who bids the most money.
So, where money is concerned, who is paying attention to whether the person taking the place is a Hindu, a Muslim or belongs to some other religion. However, it is being said that the sage is trying to convey his message to Lucknow and Delhi. Similarly, the sages and saints had decided that this time the bathing in the Akharas in Mahakumbh would not be called a royal bath, but would be called a royal bath. But no one has paid attention to this either. In the advertisement of Mahakumbh given by the Uttar Pradesh government in Delhi Metro, the bath taken on the occasion of Makar Sankranti, Mauni Amavasya and Mahashivratri has been described as Shahi Snan.
