Language Won’t Be a Barrier at Maha Kumbh 2025: Multilingual Security Personnel to Assist Devotees
Prayagraj: As the country prepares for the Divya and Bhavya Maha Kumbh 2025, authorities are taking measures to ensure that language barriers do not hinder the experience for millions of devotees, pilgrims, and tourists. To facilitate seamless assistance and enhance security services, multilingual security personnel proficient in regional languages, including English, Gujarati, Tamil, and other Indian languages, will be deployed throughout the Maha Kumbh area.
Key Initiatives:
- Multilingual Assistance: Security personnel with knowledge of various regional languages will be stationed across the event to assist visitors who do not speak Hindi. This initiative aims to improve communication and ensure that all visitors receive adequate support, regardless of their language.
- Enhanced Security Measures: The police and security teams are recruiting personnel fluent in multiple languages to help foreign tourists and pilgrims navigate the event smoothly. This strategic deployment is expected to make Maha Kumbh more accessible and visitor-friendly.
- Meeting of Religious Leaders: A meeting held at Daraganj’s Rishikesh Vaishnav Ashram, chaired by Acharya Bada and attended by prominent saints, including Swami Ramdevacharya and Swami Adhiradeshwaracharya, centred on the requirements for the Mahakumbh. Acharya Bada requested 350 bighas of land within the fairgrounds to accommodate the influx of pilgrims and saints.
- Support for Saints and Pilgrims: Acharya Bada emphasised the need for adequate facilities for saints and pilgrims during the Mahakumbh, highlighting the importance of proper accommodations and services. A proposal regarding land allocation and other logistical needs was approved during the meeting.
- Focus on Devotee Experience: The committee, led by Chairman Swami Achyutanand, stressed the importance of providing comprehensive support services to all attendees, ensuring that language does not become a barrier to their spiritual journey.
The proactive steps taken by the Mahakumbh organisers, including the deployment of multilingual security personnel, are set to make the 2025 event a genuinely inclusive and enriching experience for millions of devotees from across India and the world.
