Spiritual follower Harsha Richhariya was at the Maha Kumbh 2025 for the entire duration. From promoting Sanatan Dharam to seeking blessings from spiritual gurus, her journey at the gathering was very enlightening and enriching. However, the recent news of people secretly filming videos of women devotees taking holy dips circulating on online portals has left her upset. She said, "What happened at the Mahakumbh is truly disturbing. Videos and photos were secretly taken of women and girls while they were changing clothes, and then attempts were made to sell them online for money. This is a serious threat to humanity."
"People with such a disgusting mindset do not even deserve to be called human. The Kumbh Mela is a sacred place where people go to wash away their sins. It is believed that just visiting Prayagraj, also known as Teerthraj Prayag, cleanses all sins. But the scriptures also say that if someone commits a sin in this holy place, it is the worst sin imaginable—one that cannot be washed away anywhere in the universe," she added. She further said that the people who have committed such a grave crime "have already sealed their own fate," adding, "And what awaits them in the future will be worse than they can ever imagine. But as a society, we cannot just rely on karma—we must take strict action against them."
"Such criminals should be given the harshest punishment so that in the future, people are not just afraid of committing such acts but even fear the thought of it. There is an urgent need for strong legal action against them," Harsha ended.
