Sharing details, additional district magistrate (ADM) Mahakumbh, Vivek Chaturvedi, said, "A large number of religious organisations voluntarily provide free meals to all. It is part of their social responsibility. In the past, religious institutions have served food to lakhs of devotees at no cost, and this year's Kumbh will be no different."

Swami Chidanand Saraswati, president and spiritual head of Parmarth Niketan Ashram in Rishikesh, shared, "Our camp will be at Aral Ghat on Naini Road. We will establish a large Anna Kshetra, where our workers will cook and serve food. Initially, we will feed boatmen and sanitation workers, who will be under tremendous pressure. Thereafter, the service will be extended to the general public."
