To commemorate the recently concluded Ardh Kumbh Mela, held in Prayagraj from January 15 to March 4, The Hindu Group of Publications has brought out a 100-page book — Soul of The Kumbh — that captures the myriad facets of the three-month long holy festival. The book was here released on Wednesday by Mr. Ravi along with Mr. Shekhar Sen, Chairman, Sangeet Natak Akademi. The Kumbh mela unfolds at the confluence of the Ganga, the Yamuna and the mythical Saraswati river at the Triveni Sangam in Prayagraj. “The Hindu has always devoted substantial space in its columns to Indian culture and has been covering the Kumbh Mela in its pages over the last several decades. Thus, the Kumbh constitutes a mosaic of cultures and spirituality — which the volume attempts to capture,” notes Suresh Nambath, Editor, The Hindu, in his foreword to the book.
