Prayagraj’s Maha Kumbh Mela 2025
has once again mesmerized the world with its grandeur, spirituality, and sheer
scale. Among the millions of devotees who took the sacred dip at the Triveni
Sangam was IndiGo CEO Pieter Elbers, who beautifully encapsulated his
experience in a heartfelt note.
Taking to LinkedIn, Mr. Elbers
described the Maha Kumbh as an event that defies words, sentences, or pictures
in capturing its true essence. “Once in 144 years… the largest gathering of
mankind on planet Earth! 450 million visitors in just 45 days,” he wrote,
highlighting the immense significance of the festival. His early morning dip at
5 AM, amid chants, prayers, and devotion, was an unforgettable moment—one of
peace in the midst of chaos, a sentiment that resonated deeply with millions
worldwide.
As Maha Kumbh enters Day 18, the
energy in Prayagraj continues to build. With millions of devotees participating
in various rituals, the event has showcased an unparalleled fusion of faith,
unity, and tradition.
The second significant bathing
date, Basant Panchami, is just around the corner, drawing even greater crowds.
The resilience of both the pilgrims and the infrastructure supporting them,
including air travel, has been truly remarkable.
This once-in-a-lifetime spiritual
gathering has drawn an overwhelming number of visitors, placing enormous
pressure on transport and infrastructure, including air travel. Recognizing the
surge in demand, IndiGo has commendably expanded its operations to meet the
needs of pilgrims.
The airline has doubled its
capacity to and from Prayagraj, offering over 1,65,000 seats and increasing
flights from 490 to 900. Additionally, IndiGo has extended connectivity to ten
key locations across India, including Ahmedabad, Kolkata, and Jaipur, beyond
its existing network.
While IndiGo’s operational
enhancements are praiseworthy, it is also essential to ensure that airfares
remain accessible for the millions of devotees traveling to this historic
event. The Indian government has urged airlines to maintain reasonable ticket
prices, acknowledging concerns over soaring fares. Encouragingly, IndiGo has
taken steps to stabilize pricing, reportedly reducing fares for Prayagraj
flights by 30-50%.
Given that Maha Kumbh is a sacred
event occurring only once in 144 years, it presents an unparalleled opportunity
for airlines to showcase generosity and heartiness.
IndiGo, being a leader in Indian aviation, has already demonstrated commitment by scaling operations and supporting logistics at Prayagraj Airport.
A further goodwill gesture—ensuring
rationalized airfares throughout the event—would not only reinforce IndiGo’s
customer-first approach but also solidify its place as a truly people-centric
airline.
As millions embark on this divine
journey seeking spiritual fulfillment, fair and affordable air travel can
become a meaningful part of their experience. IndiGo has the chance to make
history—not just as an airline facilitating travel, but as a brand that
understood and upheld the spirit of Maha Kumbh 2025.
Let this Maha Kumbh be remembered
not just for its spiritual significance, but also for the inclusivity and
warmth extended by those who make the pilgrimage possible.
IndiGo,
show some heart—after all, some experiences are beyond business; they are about
humanity.

Disclaimer: These are my personal thoughts only.
The only Joy is ‘World Safe ePay Day’, and
‘World Blouse
Day’.
Safe and Stylish:
Unveiling World SafeePay and Blouse Day Delights
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.
