Ganga Aarti in Varanasi Suspended Until February 5 Due to Maha Kumbh Crowds
The renowned Ganga Aarti at Varanasi’s Dashashwamedh Ghat has been temporarily suspended until February 5, 2025. The decision was taken by Ganga Seva Nidhi, the organization responsible for conducting the daily ritual, due to the anticipated surge of devotees traveling from the Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj to Varanasi.
Officials have cited crowd control and safety concerns as the primary reasons for this temporary halt. With thousands of pilgrims expected to visit the ghats, authorities want to ensure smooth management of devotees and prevent overcrowding-related incidents.
Despite the suspension of the evening Aarti, devotees can still visit the ghats for prayers and rituals. Local authorities have urged visitors to cooperate with the arrangements and assured that the Aarti will resume its regular schedule from February 6.
The Ganga Aarti at Varanasi is one of the most sacred Hindu rituals, attracting thousands of devotees and tourists daily. It is a deeply spiritual experience that involves chanting, fire offerings, and devotional songs dedicated to the Ganges River.
The temporary suspension highlights the massive impact of the Maha Kumbh Mela, one of the world's largest religious gatherings, which draws millions of pilgrims from across the globe.
Authorities have requested visitors to follow updates and guidelines while planning their visit to Varanasi during this period.
