Harsha Richhariya is hurt by the stampede at Maha Kumbh and says she took a holy dip to express her condolences!

The Maha Kumbh Mela 2025 is being referred to as the largest gathering of people from all around the world who have come to take a dip in the holy sangam. This happens every 144 years, making it all the more special and auspicious. However, a stampede broke out in the early hours of Wednesday morning after a huge crowd gathered at the Triveni Sangam to become a part of the ‘Amrit snan’ on the occasion of Mauni Amavasya. While a lot of people lost their lives, a huge number are said to be injured. Though the management has got things under control now, the event has left many devastated.

Spiritual seeker and social activist Harsha Richhariya, who is currently at the Maha Kumbh, is deeply shocked by the stampede and shared, “Around 600 people lost their lives till now, and 3500 are estimated to be injured. It was horrible.”

As her way to offer condolences to the families of the deceased, she took a holy dip on the occasion of Mauni Amavasya in a simple way. She added, “I didn’t attend any shahi rath yatra. I was too heartbroken to attend it.”

She further said, “Some of the sadhus said, ‘We will see how Harsha will do shahi snaan. We will not let her do this in any condition, and now Mahadev cancelled every shahi snaan for every sadhu sant. In Sanskrit we say: यत्र नार्येस्तू पूज्यन्ते, रमंते तत्र देवता, which means, जहाँ स्त्रियों का सम्मान होता है वहाँ देवताओं का वास होता है और जहाँ स्त्री का अपमान होता है वहाँ देवता भी नहीं रुकते (The gods reside where the women are respected.)”
