In a significant move, the Uttar Pradesh government has designated the Maha Kumbh area in Prayagraj as a new district. This decision aims to streamline administration and ensure efficient management of the Maha Kumbh, scheduled from January 13 to February 26, 2025.
The newly named Maha Kumbh Mela district will include all key event zones, with administrative powers consolidated under the Mela Adhikari. This step enhances preparation for the religious gathering, which attracts millions globally, underscoring Prayagraj’s cultural and spiritual importance.
