PRAYAGRAJ: The 45-day Mahakumbh 2025, the biggest religious gathering on the globe of over 66 crore devotees, may have concluded; however, the show will continue, welcoming tourists from across the globe, be it the water laser show or the facade lighting of six prominent points in the city, including four ancient temples.

With an eye on the 2031 Kumbh Mela or Ardh Kumbh, the state government has a five-year agreement with private agencies providing the service.

For example, the facade lighting of six prominent points in the city, installed with a budget of Rs 25 crore before Mahakumbh 2025, will continue to remain illuminated for the next five years till next mela.
