Viral ‘Dip From Home’ Ad Raises Eyebrows, Offering Kumbh Experience Virtually

The poster offered an intriguing proposition to those unable to attend the Maha Kumbh Mela in person. It claimed that someone else would take a dip in the holy waters on behalf of the devotees, allowing them to enjoy the spiritual benefits without leaving their homes. 

“A once in 144 years opportunity ! This is your last chance for the divine Mahakumbh snan. Don’t miss it. Send us your photo, WhatsApp it, and we’ll take a photocopy of your photo and dip it in the holy waters. Benefits of this : cleanse your soul, you will receive divine blessings, and your ancestors will bless you for taking a dip in the Mahakumbh. Rs. 500/- only. #MAHAKUMBH #Lastchance #Holysnan,” the poster read.

Despite the doubts surrounding its authenticity, the advertisement caught the public's imagination and spread rapidly across social media platforms. People were left debating whether the service was a clever marketing tactic, a joke, or something more concerning.

As this strange "Dip From Home" offer circulated online, the Maha Kumbh Mela was witnessing heavy rushes at various locations. Tragically, the chaos at the Mela has led to numerous deaths. At least 18 people lost their lives in a stampede at New Delhi Railway Station on Saturday, February 15 due to the heavy rush of devotees heading to the Mela. Earlier, on January 29, a stampede at the Mela in Prayagraj claimed the lives of 30 people and injured more than 60.
