Every Indian is looking forward to the largest spiritual event in the world, the Maha Kumbh 2025. On this occasion, the Ministry of Tourism ensures that this sacred gathering becomes a global hub. Millions of pilgrims, tourists, marketing agencies, and influencers will travel to Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, for the Poorna Kumbh from today (January 13) to February 26, 2025. This event is not just about devotion but also a celebration of India’s rich cultural heritage.

The Ministry of Tourism’s initiatives

The Ministry of Tourism has launched a series of initiatives to showcase the gloriousness of the Maha Kumbh and promote it as a significant tourism destination. One of the highlights of this effort is the creation of the Incredible India Pavilion, a massive 5000 sq. ft. space at the event, designed to cater to foreign tourists, scholars, researchers, photographers, journalists and influencers. This offers visitors an in-depth look at the cultural and spiritual importance of the Kumbh Mela. Additionally, the Dekho Apna Desh People’s Choice Poll will allow visitors to vote for their favourite tourist destinations across India, further promoting domestic tourism.

The First – Line Support

To enhance the experience for international and Indian tourists, the Ministry rolled a dedicated Toll-Free Tourist Infoline (1800111363 or 1363), available in ten languages, including Hindi, English, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Bengali, Assamese, and Marathi. This line provides essential assistance and information for every visitor, regardless of language or background, to enjoy the event.

The Second – Digital Campaigns

The Ministry’s digital campaign is also in full swing, using hashtags like #Mahakumbh2025 and #SpiritualPrayagraj. They are encouraging people to share their experiences online. With the help of social media contests, collaborations with tourism bodies like ITDC UP Tourism, and numerous influencers, Maha Kumbh 2025 is spreading fast. All initiatives and makings make it a prestigious event that promises to attract visitors from across the globe.

The Third – Travel Infrastructure

The tourism infrastructure for Maha Kumbh 2025 is also being ramped up. The Ministry has teamed up with Uttar Pradesh State Tourism Development Corporation (UPSTDC), IRCTC, and ITDC. These collaborations will offer a range of curated tour packages for a luxurious experience. 80 luxury accommodations have been set up at Tent City in Prayagraj, with additional luxury tents provided by IRCTC. These packages will be available digitally to tourism offices abroad, ensuring global exposure.

Travelling to the event is also being made more manageable. The Ministry is enhancing air connectivity to Prayagraj from several major cities in India by collaborating with Alliance Air. This move will make it simpler for domestic and international tourists to reach Prayagraj reducing travel time offering comfort and convenience.

The Fourth – Documenting

The Ministry is documenting the event’s spiritual and cultural significance through a large-scale photoshoot and videography project. This will capture the devotion and grandeur of Maha Kumbh.
