  • Hindu religious leader and Bagehswar Dham Peethadheeshwar, Pandit Dhirendra Krishna Shastri,has expressed displeasure over the increasing trend of making reels and publicity on social media at the ongoing Mahakumbh in Prayagraj.

The article discusses the controversy surrounding the use of Instagram Reels at the Mahakumbh festival in Prayagraj, where Hindu leader Swami Avimukteshwaranand has expressed his disapproval. He argues that the sacredness of the Mahakumbh, a significant Hindu pilgrimage, is being undermined by the frivolous activities of social media influencers who are more focused on creating content for platforms like Instagram rather than participating in the spiritual essence of the event. The Swami criticizes the trend of turning a deeply religious gathering into a venue for selfies, dance videos, and other non-spiritual activities, which he believes distracts from the festival's purpose of spiritual cleansing and devotion. This has sparked a debate on the balance between modernity and tradition at religious events.
