Concept is nothing we all are human beings and we are just soul..there is no country, religion,planet
Anyone noticed "mythical Saraswati " 0:38
Ganji❌
Ganga✅
It's Ganga, Not Genghis
Not 2000 years it's starting from 5 Lakh years ago .
400,000,000+ (MILLION) is 21% More than entire population of USA.. How is that possible WAAAW!!!
Always conjuctured and biased information 🙄

Sadhu smoking weed… Ok no wonder
Haha, jokers
Not 2000 it goes beyond 10k when saraswati river flow in North india
Spiritual center of the world 🌎
mahakumbh after 144 yrs😃
For all those westerners who think this is crazy! 400 million even if they spend 100INR each, the revenue generated will be 400million Great Britain pounds! But on average each person will spend no less than 3-5 pounds each from transport tickets to food, toys for kids, clothes! That’s 1.2 to 1.6 Billion Great Britain pounds out of river water! That’s Great India for you 🤑
This mahakumbh has come after 144 years and Next will comes in next decades after 144 years .Especially this generation of hindu religion is very grateful that they get the chance to witness this .
Saraswati River is real disappears at source after flowing some distance stays underground on her path. Please Go to Gangotri to witness Saraswati, Anchor Mademoiselle Merci Beaucoup Encore Tres Bien 🙏
Largest religious festival in the world, that is Hindu. That is the accurate description
It's not to get rid of sin as we ain't born sinners like christianity say but it's to wear off negativity within ourselves, the inner dirt on our intellect in this materialistic world to gain some spiritual consciousness And the river is said to have a drop of "Amrit" (nectar of immortality) fallen during samundra-manthan, making it auspicious, sacred & pure.
Her her mahadev❤
We are proud for our religion and also culture ❤❤❤
It's holi river gangaji
Jai shree Ram ❤❤❤
India❤❤
Modi❤❤
There are many foreigners who visit kumbhmela from italy,russia etc
0:16 , this festival – is more than 2000 yrs old ❌…is more than 4000 yrs old ✅✅..
Lord Buddha has mentioned this festival is one of his teachings
hey..correct your pronounciation..its Ganga Ji…not Ganji.. and Our sacred Saraswati river is not mythical..If you don't know about our culture.. don't talk about it..nd if u wanna talk..first go nd learn about it
Western propoganda
