Prayagraj (Uttar Pradesh) [India], January 2 (HBTV): Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has extended an invitation to former President Ram Nath Kovind and newly appointed Governor of Mizoram, General VK Singh (retd), for the Mahakumbh 2025.

The Mahakumbh, held every twelve years, is set to begin on January 13 and conclude on February 26, 2025. Preparations are in their final stages, with the Uttar Pradesh Tourism Department working to provide unique and memorable experiences for visitors under the guidance of CM Yogi Adityanath.

According to a press release, the Tourism Department will mesmerize attendees at Mahakumbh 2025 with a spectacular drone show depicting mythological tales linked to the Mahakumbh and Prayagraj. The show, featuring 2,000 drones, will illuminate the skies over Sangam Nose during the grand opening and conclusion of the world-famous religious gathering.

District Tourism Officer Aparajita Singh stated: ‘A fleet of around 2,000 illuminated drones will bring to life the legendary tales of Prayag Mahatmyam and the Mahakumbh. The spectacular show will depict iconic events like the mythical Samudra Manthan (ocean churning) and the emergence of the Amrit Kalash (nectar pot), creating a magical visual narrative in the evening skies.’

The event will also include floating restaurants, water activities, hot air balloons, and laser light shows. Beginning in early January, a musical fountain laser show on the Yamuna River at Kali Ghat will enhance the experience for tourists visiting Prayagraj.

The drone show and other innovative attractions introduced by the Uttar Pradesh Tourism Department aim to provide a memorable experience for both visitors and residents of Prayagraj.
