During Maha Kumbh 2025, a controversial incident has come to light on the holy occasion of Ganga Snan. In a video going viral on social media, a woman and a man were seen bathing inappropriately at the holy ghat of Ganga. When the devotees bathing nearby became suspicious of this, they caught hold of the man and lifted him up, after which the woman also got up. The video of this incident is spreading rapidly on the internet, although its authenticity has not been confirmed.
This incident has raised serious questions on the sanctity and security of the Maha Kumbh Mela. The Maha Kumbh, which is held every 12 years, is the world's largest religious gathering, where millions of devotees hope to get rid of their sins by taking a dip in the Ganga. In such a situation, such incidents not only hurt religious sentiments, but also raise questions on the security arrangements of the fair.
Even before this, many controversial incidents have come to the fore in Maha Kumbh 2025. Recently, a video went viral on social media, in which a person was running a digital Ganga bath business. Under this service, people used to send their photos on WhatsApp by paying Rs 1100, which the person used to print and immerse in the Ganges, so that people could earn the virtue of bathing in the Ganges sitting at home. This video also garnered a lot of discussion on the Internet.
Besides, in another worrying incident, there have been reports of objectionable videos of women bathing at the Maha Kumbh Mela being made and sold online. The Uttar Pradesh police have registered a case against two social media accounts that were allegedly posting and selling these videos. The incident has raised serious concerns over the safety of women at the fair.

Maintaining security and order in a huge event like Maha Kumbh is a big challenge. The administration should make strong security arrangements in such events, so that the devotees can perform their religious duties without any fear. At the same time, devotees are also expected to follow the sanctity and discipline of the fair, so that such unpleasant incidents can be avoided.
In Maha Kumbh 2025, while there have been some controversial incidents, there have also been some inspiring incidents. In a video, a son was seen carrying his aged mother in his arms and taking her for a bath in the Ganga. This scene touched people's hearts and was widely appreciated on social media.
In events like Maha Kumbh, where crores of people gather, it is extremely important to maintain security, discipline and sanctity. It is the joint responsibility of the administration and the devotees to make such events successful and safe, so that the dignity of religious faith and cultural heritage is maintained.
Ultimately, these events of Maha Kumbh 2025 force us to think about how to ensure safety and ethics in such huge events. The administration, society and every individual must make collective efforts so that the dignity and sanctity of sacred events like Maha Kumbh is maintained.
