Mahakumbh Mela’s “Dip from Home” Offer Sparks Online Buzz
A new advertisement for the Mahakumbh Mela has grabbed attention online by offering a “dip from home” service. Yes, you read that right—people can now take part in the sacred ritual without actually traveling to the event.

With over 400 million pilgrims expected to bathe in the holy waters of Sangam in Prayagraj, this creative ad offers a unique solution for those who can’t attend in person. For Rs 500, devotees can send their photo and payment, and the organizers will dip the picture in the Sangam on their behalf, believing this will bring blessings to them and their ancestors.
This unusual campaign has sparked mixed reactions online. While some people found it funny and creative, others questioned its authenticity. One user joked, “Do you accept group photos?”, while another sarcastically commented, “Sir is busy in market dips.” However, some were skeptical, calling it a possible scam.
The advertisement also emphasized that this Maha Kumbh is special because it happens only once every 144 years, calling it a “final opportunity” for devotees to take part in the ritual. It urged people not to miss this chance to receive divine blessings.
