35 Days Down, 11 to Go: The Spirit Behind Maha Kumbh 2025’s Cleanliness Drive
The Kumbh Mela is a
celebration of unity, faith, and renewal
Today is the 35th day
of Prayagraj Maha Kumbh 2025, and there are another 11 days left for Prayagraj
Maha Kumbh 2025.
So, if you have not planned to travel
to Prayagraj to experience the awesomeness of Kumbh Mela, a once in a 144 year
opportunity, now is the time to do so.
Beyond the Record: The Team Effort Powering Maha Kumbh 2025’s
Historic Clean-Up
With 35 days already behind us
and only 11 days left, the Maha Kumbh 2025 is reaching its final stretch, but
the momentum is stronger than ever. Amidst the grandeur of this spiritual
gathering, a silent yet powerful force has been shaping its legacy—the dedicated
sanitation workers who have not only kept the Kumbh Mela clean but also made
history along the way.
A Guinness World Record—But More
Than Just a Title
In a remarkable achievement, 300
sanitation workers came together at Maha Kumbh 2025 to set a Guinness World
Record for the first-ever coordinated river cleaning effort. This historic
event took place across multiple Ganga sectors, demonstrating an unparalleled
commitment to environmental stewardship. While the world celebrates this
official recognition, the real victory lies in the relentless team effort
beyond the record itself.
As Maha Kumbh Mela CEO Akanksha
Rana highlighted, this is only the beginning. A total of 15,000 sanitation
workers are expected to continue the campaign, ensuring that the sacred rivers
remain pristine for millions of pilgrims. The record is a milestone, but the
ongoing efforts are a testament to the dedication and resilience of these
workers.
A Collective Spirit Driving
Change
At Ram Ghat, where this historic
record was made, Anand Kumar Singh, a key figure in the Mela administration,
emphasized the scale of the mission: “With over 500 million people expected to
visit the Mela, cleanliness is a paramount issue. We launched a large-scale
campaign, and our workers are diligently cleaning each ghat.”
For the sanitation workers, this
isn’t just a job—it’s a duty, a responsibility, and a source of immense pride.
Manoj, one of the workers involved in the clean-up, expressed his joy: “It
feels great to be part of this historic event. We are working hard to clean all
three Sangam Ghats, and we hope this inspires everyone to keep their
surroundings clean.”
Another worker, Sonu Kumar,
recalled a similar experience in 2019 when sanitation workers were honored in
the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. “Today, it feels just as
special,” he said, “and we all understand the importance of keeping our ghats
and rivers clean.”
Infrastructure and Planning: The
Backbone of the Kumbh
Beyond the dedicated workforce,
the Maha Kumbh 2025 is a testament to meticulous planning and infrastructure
development. The Mela has expanded to 4,000 hectares, with enhanced facilities
for housing, electricity, water supply, and medical services. 30 pontoon
bridges connect the 25 sectors, ensuring smooth movement for pilgrims. The
length of the bathing ghats has increased from 8 kilometers in 2019 to 12
kilometers in 2025, allowing for a more organized and accessible experience.
Additionally, the Uttar Pradesh
government has deployed a large contingent of Water Police personnel to ensure
the safety of devotees along the Ganga and Yamuna rivers. With increased
parking spaces and expanded roads, the Mela is well-equipped to handle the
unprecedented influx of visitors.
The Final Push: 11 Days to Go
With only 11 days left, the
energy remains high. The sanitation workers and Mela authorities are determined
to sustain this momentum, ensuring that cleanliness remains a top priority
until the very last day. This effort goes far beyond a world record—it is a
movement, a shared responsibility, and a legacy that will inspire future Kumbh
Melas and other large-scale gatherings worldwide.
As we count down the final days
of Maha Kumbh 2025, let this Guinness World Record be a reminder that
collective action, dedication, and teamwork can lead to extraordinary
achievements. The sanitation workers may have set a record, but their
unwavering commitment to keeping the sacred rivers clean is what truly makes
history.

Milestone
The need for observing World
SafeePay Day and World Blouse Day arises from the absence of dedicated global
celebrations for these concepts.
World SafeePay Day aims to
celebrate the joy of safe electronic payments in all financial transactions,
representing an abstract celebration that highlights the significance of secure
and efficient digital financial interactions. As the world increasingly relies
on electronic payment systems, having a designated day for SafeePay emphasizes
the importance of secure and reliable digital financial transactions.
On the other hand, World Blouse
Day seeks to celebrate the joys of wearing blouses in a more lively and
visually impactful manner. The concept involves a powerful display of
togetherness, with millions of people stepping out wearing blouses based on a
chosen theme. This display celebration not only promotes a sense of unity but
also serves as a unique and creative expression of shared identity through
clothing.
