Singer Kailash Kher will perform the closing musical performances at the official cultural arena of Mahakumbh at Prayagraj (Uttar Pradesh) on February 23. The Padma Shri awardee has already sung the festival anthem for Doordarshan and has also come up with a Mahakumbh Sangam song.

"I am fortunate that I will perform and also take a dip at Triveni Sangam for the first time during Mahakumbh. I had taken a dip and performed at the Ardh Kumbh in Haridwar (Uttarakhand) years ago."

During the last Mahakumbh (held in 2013), I sang the official anthem, Kumbh Gaan. Shankar (Mahadevan, musician) bhai is doing the opening act and I will do the closing at the sangam of artistes in Kumbh," he says.
