Prayagraj is set to witness an extraordinary spectacle as a three-day drone show kicks off today at the Maha Kumbh Mela. Devotees will be treated to a mesmerizing blend of ancient Sanatan heritage and cutting-edge technology, showcasing the spiritual and cultural essence of Indian traditions in a unique way.
The highlight of this grand show will be a visual retelling of the spiritual saga of the Maha Kumbh. Using 2,500 state-of-the-art ‘Made in India’ drones, the event will narrate the story of Samudra Manthan, the mythical churning of the ocean that led to the discovery of Amrit Kalash (the pot of nectar). The celestial struggle between gods and demons for the nectar of immortality will be recreated in dazzling formations in the night sky.
Each evening will present a distinct theme, with drones painting breathtaking visuals above the sacred Sangam—the confluence of the Ganga, Yamuna, and Saraswati rivers. The origin and significance of the Kumbh Kalash will also be depicted in a captivating and artistic manner.
This large-scale drone show is a historic first for the Maha Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj, marking a fusion of tradition and innovation. The event promises to leave devotees spellbound while emphasizing India’s cultural legacy through modern storytelling techniques.
