MAHAKUMBH NAGAR: The Maha Kumbh, believed to be the world's largest religious gathering, concluded in Prayagraj on Wednesday, with millions of devotees taking a holy dip in the waters of the Sangam—the confluence of the Ganga, Yamuna and mythical Saraswati rivers—on the occasion of Mahashivratri.

As part of the closing ceremony of the mega religious event, Indian Air Force's Sukhoi fighter jets, AN-32 transport aircraft, and Chetak helicopters performed thrilling manoeuvres in the sky in the afternoon, enthralling millions present at the Mahakumbh Nagar—a makeshift 76th district set up for the 45-day grand fair.
