Maha Kumbh: Manav Dharm Shivir sets up ‘hi-tech’ kitchen to feed over 1 lakh devotees

Prayagraj: To feed the more than one lakh pilgrims during the Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj, the Manav Dharm Shivir has established a “high-technology” kitchen. According to Manav Dharm Shivir, 500 persons prepare the meal, while another two to three thousand people serve it to the devotees.

Additionally, Yogi Adityanath, the chief minister of Uttar Pradesh, will attend a program they are planning for today, January 27.

A large number of machines and workers are used

“Every day, at least one lakh people eat here…For this, a large number of machines and personnel are used.Over two to three thousand individuals work here to serve meals and provide other services, while over 500 people prepare the food. A Shivir member told the media report, “We have 2000 restrooms, tents for people with water supplies, and other facilities in the Shivir.”

She went on to explain their culinary method, stating that they had equipment that can chop veggies and prepare 2000 rotis.

“We have a machine that can constantly produce two thousand rotis in an hour. It can also produce poori. Additionally, we have equipment for cutting and preparing veggies and grains. We can’t feed so many people every day if we don’t have them,” she said.

An enormous number of devotees gathered at the Maha Kumbh earlier on Sunday with hopes of taking a spiritual bath in the hallowed waters of Sangam. During the first 14 days of the holy gathering, more than 110 million devotees had swum in Prayagraj’s waters.

Every twelve years, the Maha Kumbh is celebrated, and from January 13 to February 26, Prayagraj is anticipated to see a massive influx of believers.

The sacred plunge at the Sangam, which is the meeting point of the Ganga, Yamuna, and now-extinct Saraswati rivers, is said to atone for sins and provide moksha (freedom).

The event, which has its roots in Sanatan Dharma, represents a heavenly alignment that brings forth a favorable time for devotion and spiritual purification. Over 45 crore people are anticipated to attend the Mahakumbh Mela, which would be a historic event for India.
