Bollywood actor Anupam Kher joined the list of celebrities who visited the ongoing Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj.

He praised the arrangements made for the largest religious congregation in the world.

"Yesterday I reached the holy place of Maha Kumbh. This is a magical city! The atmosphere here can only be felt by coming here. There is frenzy, devotion, curiosity, questions, answers to questions, happiness everywhere," the actor posted on X.

He further said: "There is a spiritual festival far and wide. I am heartily grateful to Swami Avdheshanand Giri Ji Maharaj for his love and respect for me. It is my good fortune to spend time with him and gain the knowledge of Sanatan! I have stayed in the biggest hotels of the world. The arrangements here are no less than any other. It is amazing to build this city in just 35 days."

He praised the Uttar Pradesh government for the grand event.

The Indian government recently said 45 crore devotees, including 15 lakh foreign pilgrims, are expected to attend the Maha Kumbh festival, one of the largest religious congregations in the world, which is currently going on in Prayagraj city in Uttar Pradesh.

The ongoing Maha Kumbh started on January 13 and will continue till February 26.

While interacting with the foreign media, Uttar Pradesh officials noted that the Mahakumbh will surpass other major global events in terms of attendance.
