Mahakumbh 2025 is going to set a world record this time in many ways. This time preparations have been made by the Mela Authority to set 4 different world records in different categories, while there is every possibility of setting a world record for the maximum number of devotees gathering together in a single event. Along with this, a world record is also going to be set for eye testing and distribution of spectacles.
For the first time, over five lakh individuals will undergo eye examinations simultaneously, with three lakh spectacles distributed during the event. A grand "Netra Kumbh" has been set up in Sector 5 near Nagvasuki to facilitate this initiative, spanning approximately 10 acres. Scheduled for inauguration on January 5, the facility will provide free eye check-ups to devotees, with follow-up surgeries available at nearby hospitals post-event.
