The grandeur and spiritual significance of the Mahakumbh in Prayagraj continue to attract visitors not only from across India but also from around the world. Among the international visitors deeply influenced by Indian culture are three friends from Italy who have arrived to witness the divinity of the Mahakumbh Mela.
Staying in a camp on the fair premises, they have fully embraced the experience, even dressing in traditional saffron attire. One of the visitors, Emma, a yoga instructor, expressed her fascination with India’s rich cultural heritage and spirituality.
Sharing her sentiments, she said: “This is my first visit to the Mahakumbh. I am a yoga teacher, and many of my friends are Indians. I deeply admire Indian culture, and I feel as if I was Indian in my previous birth.”
She also said that she loves Indian music, bhajans, and kirtans. “The arrangements here at the Mahakumbh are excellent,” she added.
Her companion Pietro is also captivated by the spiritual atmosphere. Sharing his perspective, Pietro said: “I am a yoga practitioner and have some knowledge of Indian culture. The Kumbh Mela is the largest spiritual event of Sanatan Dharma, and this is my first visit here.”
He said that when his friends planned this trip, he decided to join them to experience the extraordinary event. Another member of the group, Stefano, mentioned that his curiosity about the Mahakumbh was sparked by his friends from Russia who had previously visited India and embraced the life of Naga Sadhus.
“This is my first visit to the Kumbh. Some of my sadhu friends from Russia shared their experiences about the event, which inspired me to come here,” he explained.
