Renowned poet Kumar Vishwas on Monday praised the government for making effective arrangements for devotees at the Magh Mela being held in Prayagraj.

Speaking to ANI at the Magh Mela Kshetra, Kumar Vishwas said that the administration has ensured proper facilities for pilgrims and visitors arriving from across the country.

Devotees continue to arrive in large numbers at the Magh Mela Kshetra on Monday to take a holy dip at Sangam. Ravi Shukla, a devotee from Deoria, Uttar Pradesh, said that the government has made good arrangements for devotees at the Magh Mela in Prayagraj.

"It was a wonderful experience... Everything went well... yesterday I took a dip in the holy Ganga and today came here... The government has made good arrangements to accommodate the devotees. I didn't face any problems," he said.

Earlier, flower petals were showered on the devotees who arrived for a 'snaan' at the Sangam in Prayagraj on the occassion of Mauni Amavasya. During the festival, a helicopter showered flower petals on the large gathering of devotees present on the Ghat for a holy dip during the ongoing Magh Mela.

On this occassion, Prayagraj District Magistrate Manish Kumar Verma stated that the ritual of the holy bath began at 12 midnight. He noted that despite heavy fog throughout the night, devotees continued to arrive in large numbers, and the influx of pilgrims remained strong since morning. He also said that around 3 crore devotees had taken the holy dip by 12 PM.

The Prayagraj District Magistrate further stated that the Magh Mela is proceeding in an organised manner, and security officials are deployed across all sectors to ensure safety in the area.

While the arrangements sound impressive, I hope this level of planning and cleanliness is maintained for our everyday public spaces too, not just during festivals. That would be the real renaissance.

Infrastructure development is good, but the true 'cultural renaissance' Kumar Vishwas ji mentions should also focus on preserving the ecological health of the Ganga itself. A clean river is the greatest facility for devotees.

My parents went this year and said it was much more organized than before. They specifically mentioned better signage and helpful volunteers. When our elders are happy, we are happy. Good work.
