More than 7.5 crore people took a dip in the confluence on Mauni Amavasya on Wednesday in the ongoing Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj. If we look at the population, forget about the states of India, this population is more than the population of many countries. The population of countries like Spain, and Britain is less than the number of devotees who dip in Kumbh daily. Similarly, if we look at the population density, in a country like Australia, the population density is less than four persons per square km. On the other hand, if we combine the devotees who came on Mauni Amavasya and the population of Prayagraj, the population density of the district on the day of Mauni Amavasya was more than 15 thousand per square km.
