💨 Abstract

At the Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj, rose petals were showered on devotees during their 'Amrit Snan' on Makar Sankranti. The Uttar Pradesh government had prepared for this event for weeks, procuring and storing rose petals to ensure a continuous shower during bathing festivals. The Horticulture Department planned to use around 20 quintals of rose petals for each occasion.
