When Kumbh Mela Got a 'Royal' Touch
Hindustan Times Lucknow
|December 30, 2024
FROM THE ARCHIVES
Rulers of nine erstwhile princely states had attended 1882 religious fair in Prayagraj, show records.
Rulers of erstwhile nine princely states had attended the Kumbh Mela organised on Sangam banks in 1882 and had entered the mela area with royal pomp and show.
The royals who had attended the religious fair included the rulers of Manda, Daiya and Bara princely states of the then Allahabad region besides the rulers of Kashi, Nahetia, Vijaynagar, Banshi, Bharatpur and Jaipur princely states, claims the official report of the then Allahabad's joint magistrate T Jensen filed in 1882. The report lies preserved as a rare document in the Prayagraj regional archives even today. Syed Liaquat Hussain was posted as the city inspector at the time.
The records show that the 1882 Kumbh Mela was a rare instance when rulers of so many princely states attended the mega fair, says technical assistant of the archives Rakesh Kumar Verma.
