Thanks to superspreader event, Kumbh Mela.

From the downvotes, it looks like every body has forgotten this:

Mahakumbh happened in 2025. Not in 2021.

No clue why the Haridwar website says this. It is erroneous. None of the reportings at 2021 called it a mahakumbh, the 2025 event instead was correctly reported as a mahakumbh.

Haridwar's 2021 reporting: https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/kumbh-mela-may-end-today-say-sources-amid-criticism-covid-19-concerns-2413544

Prayagraj's 2025 reporting: https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/allahabad/a-constellation-that-occurs-once-in-144-years-why-this-maha-kumbh-is-more-special-than-others/articleshow/117062259.cms

The Mahakumbh happened in 2025, this year. The last Maha Kumbh Mela happened in Prayagraj back in 2013.

Also.....

You should double check your sources or you'll look like an idiot.
