Avoid over-packing. Taking tons of luggage that you will just drag around the place when everyone else is enjoying will be the last thing you will want to do there. So, pack light but in the heat of the moment don’t forget to pack your essentials including medicines.
Avoid packing valuables; if you are carrying them, take utmost care of them. It’s such a huge gathering, and you never know other people’s intentions.
Avoid eating anything from strangers or at an unauthorized place. A humongous gathering like this can lead to crimes too. Furthermore, an upset stomach is something that you will not want.
Research well for the facilities provided. Check services like Hospitals, Food, Emergency Services, etc.
Stay low-key and enjoy to the fullest is the mantra of Kumbh Mela. So, don’t attract unnecessary conflicts by provoking peers.
Going for a dip in the divine river? Then try using only the Bathing areas/ Ghats that the Mela administration authorizes. Also, habitually use the Bathing Ghats nearest to the place you are staying or the city for a safe and sound experience.
Keep your emergency contact numbers handy. You may not need them, but precautions are better than cure.
Lost someone or something? Use Lost and Found Centres, trust us, they are always happy to help.
While bathing in the river, try not to cross the permissible limits. Although safety measures are taken by the government, you too will need to be careful.
Usage of any pollutants like the Pujan Samagri (offerings to the deities) and any soaping material is not appreciated near the river. So, avoid it at any cost.
If you are a plastic bag lover, then say bye to them as soon as you step into this city because their usage is completely prohibited here during the Mela.
