In a breathtaking display of devotion and adventure, a skydiver from Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, unfurled the Mahakumbh flag at a height of 13,000 feet over Bangkok. This act comes just as the Mahakumbh—the world’s largest religious gathering—kicked off in Prayagraj on Monday, drawing over 40 crore devotees to the sacred confluence of the Ganga, Yamuna, and Saraswati rivers for ritual dips.
