Crores of people congregate for this event. Lakhs of saints, thousands of traditions, hundreds of sects, many Akharas, everyone becomes a part of this event. Shri Modi highlighted that there is no discrimination anywhere, no one is big, no one is small. Such a scene of unity in diversity is not seen anywhere else in the world. Therefore, our Kumbh is also the Maha Kumbh of unity. The forthcoming Maha Kumbh will also bolster the mantra of Maha Kumbh of unity. He called upon the citizens to participate in the Maha Kumbh, with a resolve of unity. “Let us also make a resolve to annihilate the feeling of division and hatred in the society. If I have to say it in a few words, then I will say, Maha Kumbh Ka Sandesh, Ek Ho Poora Desh”. The message of the Maha Kumbh, let the whole country be united. and putting it in another way, I will express, Ganga Ki Aviral Dhara, Na Bante Samaj Hamara. Like the uninterrupted flow of the Ganga, let our society be undivided”, he stated.
Shri Modi further informed that this time in Prayagraj, devotees from the country and the world will also be witness to the digital Maha Kumbh. With the help of digital navigation, you will be able to reach different ghats, temples, and akharas of sadhus. The same navigation system will also help you reach parking spaces. For the first time, an AI chatbot will be used in the Kumbh event. All kinds of information related to Kumbh will be available in 11 Indian languages through the AI chatbot. Anyone can ask for any kind of help through this chatbot, either by typing text or by speaking in. The entire Fair area is being covered with AI-powered cameras. If someone gets separated from one’s kith and kin during the Kumbh, these cameras will help in finding them. Devotees will also get the facility of a digital lost and found centre. Devotees will also be provided information about government-approved tour packages, accommodation and home-stay on their mobile phones. Shri Modi called upon people to avail of these facilities when they visit Maha Kumbh and upload their selfie with #EktaKaMahakumbh.
Addressing the nation, the Prime Minister also highlighted how the radiance of Indian culture is spreading to every nook & corner of the world, today. He mentioned about a splendid painting of Taj Mahal which has been made by a 13 year old Divyang girl, from Egypt, with her mouth. Shri Modi informed that a few weeks ago, around 23 thousand students from Egypt participated in a painting competition, where they had to prepare paintings depicting Indian culture and the historical relations between the two countries. Appreciating the youth who participated in this competition, the Prime Minister said “no amount of praise for their creativity would be enough”.
