The making of the Kumbh Mela, the largest religious festival on Earth

Kumbh Mela- The world’s largest peaceful gathering—620 million people, half of the world’s Hindus—and yet, where was the media coverage? When they did talk about it, it was the same tired narratives of chaos, poverty, and superstition. But the Maha Kumbh Mela was something far greater—a testament to faith, unity, and unparalleled organization on a scale the world has never seen. Our Executive Director, Suhag Shukla, personally attended this historic event with her parents, HAF staff, and board.
