'Went To Kumbh With Excitement'

After Vijay Deverakonda, Nimrat Kaur visits the Maha Kumbh Mela and takes a dip in the Triveni Sangam at Prayagraj.

'Words fail me to describe this experience... as I assimilate what I have been so blessed to participate in,' she posts.

'Having grown up in a Sikh family, the significance of the Kumbh Mela snan is a fairly new concept.'

'The unparalleled historic event of the Mahakumbh actually made me deep dive into the mythology and history of this mesmerising festival,' she adds, posting pictures from her visit.

'One that this year celebrated the coming together of an ocean of humanity, the largest ever our mortal eyes will witness.'

'I am in immeasurable awe of the sheer faith and devotion that has fuelled people of all ages and backgrounds to take momentous journeys and efforts just to set foot here.'

'Deeply grateful for all the tireless efforts being put in by the police and local administrations to manage this mammoth event.'

'Running on probably 2-3 hours of sleep for a long time now and constantly dealing with the ever changing dynamics and demands with epic proportions, it takes super human capacities to make anything happen at this point.'

'My salutations especially the brilliant Ganga Task Force for their relentless efforts in making my experience thoroughly flawless and doing it all with smiles on their faces.'

'Went in with equal amounts of nervousness, excitement, anticipation and curiosity. Have come back with a renewed sense of awe, inspiration and pride for our unparalleled culture, history and that which binds us all in this mortal journey, faith.'

Nimrat takes a moments to meditate as well.
