Cleaning Campaigns 2021

Mini Kumbh Mela clean up on Yamuna River

The Kumbh Mela is a major pilgrimage festival that is celebrated every twelve years. The venue is rotated between the four holy pilgrimage destinations: Haridwar, Nashik, Allahabad, and Ujjain. Each Kumbh Mela is attended by millions of devotees around the world. The 2021 Kumbh Mela was held in Haridwar.

A mini Kumbh Mela was held on the bank of the Yamuna River in Vrindavan, Mathura in Uttar Pradesh from February 16 – March 25, 2021. After the festival, the Nagam Nigam Mathura Vrindavan (Municipal Corporation of Mathura and Vrindavan) organized a cleaning campaign along the bank of the Yamuna River.

It is customary for charitable organizations to participate in these cleaning campaigns. Vishav Manav Ruhani Kendra sent 50 volunteers to assist in the cleaning campaign. Our volunteers took part in the cleaning drive from 7am to 4.30 pm on 3 days: February 13, 20 and 25. No other charitable organizations were given permission to participate in the cleaning campaign.
