Maha Kumbh serves as a major driver of spiritual tourism, attracting an unparalleled influx of domestic and international visitors. The sheer scale of the event, often exceeding attendees by millions, highlights India's position as a global hub for religious and cultural tourism. Further, the government's focus on infrastructure and tourism-friendly policies is creating long-term benefits for the region.
Besides, Maha Kumbh’s influence extends beyond Prayagraj, significantly boosting tourism in nearby religious hubs like Varanasi and Ayodhya. With pilgrims often extending their journeys to these sacred cities, heritage tourism in the region is witnessing remarkable growth.
Hence, we believe this reinforces India’s vision of reclaiming its status as a global spiritual and cultural destination, where faith and economic prosperity go hand in hand.”
