A stampede broke out at the Maha Kumbh Mela in Uttar Pradesh’s Prayagraj on Wednesday (). The incident occurred as crores of people went to the Triveni Sangam for a ‘Amrit Snan’ (holy dip) on the occasion of Mauni Amavasya.

A stampede-like situation at the Maha Kumbh on Mauni Amavasya morning on Wednesday (29 January) left around 30 women injured, prompting Akharas to cancel their holy dip. A massive influx of devotees into Prayagraj's tent city for the 'Amrit Snan' led to overcrowding near the Sangam.

Dozens of worshippers are feared dead and many more injured following a stampede or crush Wednesday at the massive Kumbh Mela religious festival in northern India, according to officials.

A tragedy unfolded in the wee hours of Wednesday at the Maha Kumbh Mela in Uttar Pradesh’s Prayagraj. A stampede took place with fears rising that several have been killed or injured in the crowd rush.

A deadly stampede at Triveni Sangam ghat during Mahakumbh 2025 resulted in at least fifteen deaths as devotees gathered for Mauni Amavasya Amrit Snan. Prime Minister Modi expressed condolences and is coordinating relief efforts with Uttar Pradesh's Chief Minister.

At least seven people have died in multiple stampedes at India’s Kumbh Mela festival, as millions of Hindu devotees gathered for a ritual bath at the confluence of three sacred rivers. The crowd crush began at around 4am (local time) at Prayagraj,
