Unity In Diversity Like Nowhere Else in The World: PM Modi On Maha Kumbh’s Uniqueness

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday (29 December) referred to the upcoming Prayagraj ‘Maha Kumbh’ as the “mahakumbh of unity” and urged attendees to leave the monumental religious gathering with a commitment to eliminate hate and division from society.

During his monthly Mann ki Baat address, Modi stated, “Mahakumbh ka sandesh ek ho pura desh (Message from the Maha Kumbh should be that the entire country must be united).”

Highlighting the diverse participants expected at the congregation, set to take place in Prayagraj starting 13 January, he said there is no other example of such a scene of unity in diversity.

"Crores of people gather together in this event. Lakhs of saints, thousands of traditions, hundreds of sects, numerous akhadas, everyone becomes a part of this event. There is no discrimination anywhere, no one is big, no one is small. Such a scene of unity in diversity cannot be seen anywhere else in the world," PM Modi said.

“Mahakumbh’s speciality lies not just in its vastness but also in its diversity,” he said.

"This time's Maha Kumbh will also bolster the mantra of Maha Kumbh of unity. Let me tell all of you; when we participate in the Kumbh, let us bring along this resolve of unity with us. 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... Mahakumbh Ka Sandesh, Ek Ho Poora Desh (The message of the Mahakumbh, let the whole country be united)," PM Modi added. 

The mega Hindu religious event is held every 12 years.

PM Modi also noted that technology will be used to make it easier for people to access information related to the Maha Kumbh.

"For the first time, AI chatbot will be used in the Kumbh event. All kinds of information related to Kumbh can be obtained in 11 Indian languages ​​through AI chatbot. Anyone can ask for any kind of help from this chatbot by typing or speaking text," he said.
