The Maha Kumbh pilgrimage of six people turned tragic after they were killed in a road accident in Uttar Pradesh. A trailer truck hit the pickup truck the devotees were travelling by in Ghazipur this afternoon. Six of them – two men, two women and two children – were killed in the accident while ten people sustained injuries.<\/p>\n

The devotees were returning home after taking a holy dip in Prayagraj’s Maha Kumbh when they met with an accident on Varanasi-Gorakhpur four-lane near Kusumhi Kalan village in Ghazipur district.<\/p>\n

Heartbreaking visuals showed devotees lying on the road with their luggage scattered all around them. An ambulance was also seen parked close by.<\/p>\n

The injured have been sent to a nearby hospital. Police and administrative officials have rushed to the spot.<\/p>\n

The accident comes just days after 30 people were killed in a pre-dawn stampede at the Sangam area of the Maha Kumbh. 60 people were injured in the accident on Wednesday when pilgrims jostled for space to take a holy in on ‘Mauni Amavasya’, one of the most auspicious days of the Hindu calendar.<\/p>\n

Mahakumbh 2025 – which began on January 13 and will continue until February 26 – has been seeing an unprecedented influx of devotees. As per the latest figures, more than 20 crore people have taken the sacred dip at the revered Ganga-Yamuna-Saraswati confluence. The mega event is witnessing people from different languages, lifestyles, and traditions coming together at the Sangam.<\/p>\n
