|February 17, 2025

UNABLE to afford a trip to Prayagraj for the Mahakumbh Mela, 57-year-old Gowri has done something unique. She has dug a 40-foot-deep well in her backyard, bringing "Ganga" to earth. She has done it all by herself, and this is not her first time.
In mid-2024, she dug a well to quench the thirst of Anganwadi children and staff amid opposition from the district administration.
"One has to be lucky to go to Mahakumbh. I cannot afford it (Gowri owns a small patch of agriculture land which helps earn her livelihood). I decided to dig a well here and bring Ganga," she told The New Indian Express.
