micro and macro planning to provide water, power, lodging, security and transport in the Kumbh Mela starting in Nashik on July 14.
The focus of the effort is on cleanliness. Clean and Green Pilgrimage is the theme, with the state government pledging to carry forward the Prime Minister’s Swachch Bharat Abhiyan.
No tents will be allowed in the ghats.
Unlike Allahabad and Ujjain, where the Kumbh Mela takes place on the outskirts and the rivers have wider banks, the Nashik Kumbh is held in heart of the town. In both Allahabad and Ujjain, Kumbh Mela takes place during winters; in Nashik, it falls during the monsoon once every 12 years.
“Kumbh Mela is a holy pilgrimage of sadhus. We look forward to their blessings… The government’s effort will be to ensure that no one who comes to the Kumbh Mela is inconvenienced,” Fadnavis said.
