A large number of women devotees can be seen at the Maha Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj, the world’s largest spiritual gathering. The Uttar Pradesh government has made special arrangements for women at the ghats. Several facilities are being provided to ensure a safe, secure, and comfortable environment for the women devotees.
The security measures taken for the women and arrangements made at the ghat have instilled confidence among the women devotees to come in large numbers to attend Mahakumbh. The women police personnel deployed at the ghat are
helping the women devotees to take a holy dip at Triveni Sangam in a hassle-free manner. More than one lakh 50 thousand toilets have been installed in the Mela campus. Several women devotees appreciated the government, for the arrangements made for them including changing rooms and separate toilets.
Along with men, female priests also perform Ganga Aarti at Sangam Ghat. The women are also playing a key role in managing camps, organizing community kitchens, and facilitating pilgrim services.
