Allahabad, Jan 13: Maha Kumbh Mela, often described as the “greatest show on earth” globally, is all set to begin here on Monday with millions of people from across the country as well as abroad expected to attend the religious gathering.
The Mela, held every 12 years, will go on for next two months and will conclude on Maha Shivaratri on March 10.
Expecting a turn out of about 1.1 crore people to take holy dip tomorrow on Makar Sankranti, the administration has put in place elaborate security arrangements to thwart any kind of terrorist activity, prevent stampedes or any other type of law and order challenge.
