Gold Rush: Life Trampled in Kumbh!

2025 Kumbh Mela Tragedy

Gold Rush: Life Trampled in Kumbh!

Life accumulates dust!
Necessary garbage
And
Unnecessary words
Weight
Us
Down!

River rolls on
Faith swells
Ebb and flow

The
pull
The
push

Demand ditches supply...
Faith and life get
Trampled in the 'mad rush'.

But where is the
GOLD???!!!
