The duration of Kumbh Mela in Hardwar has been curtailed to one month for the first time in its history and it has been made mandatory for pilgrims to have a “negative” RT-PCR test report to attend in view of a recent surge in Covid cases.

The congregation will take place from April 1 to 30, with three shahi snan dates on April 12, 14 and 27. Usually, the event lasts around three-and-a-half months.
