Symposium on Kumbh : IIMC and Religion World Joint Effort
What is Kumbh ? Why it is organised ? Why people have so much faith in bathing on specific dates and places ? How Kumbh is associated with Hindu Religion ? Is Kumbh evolving? Why it matters for India ? How media covers Kumbh ? What media missed in the Kumbh Mela ?
As Kumbh Mela is going on a lot of buzz has created around it. As an inquisitive mind, anyone can ask why so much of spending and how this big scale of devotees reach at one place. Everything seems disciplined and well managed. Is this all about mega event management or is there any faith element that guides everything.
