Kumbh Mela in Haridwar before COVID

The Maha Kumbh, which is organized once in 12 years, is a three-and-a-half-month event in Haridwar. It was held last time from January 14 to April 28 in 2010.

However, the event has been curtailed to one month given the second wave of Coronavirus.

Those attending the Mela will have to take with them a "negative" RT-PCR test report which should not be older than 72 hours.

Pilgrims, who have already taken the vaccine for Coronavirus can upload their certificates on an official portal.

The government of Uttarakhand has also appealed to people to properly follow the COVID rules in the Mela.
