Synopsis
There is hardly any crowd now at the bathing ghats where droves of sadhus and common devotees had gathered for a dip in the river on the ‘shahi snan' of April 14, defying Covid-19 norms like social distancing. Most of the devotees have already left and the akhadas have been winding up their camps one after another.

Crowds at the ghats of Ganga in Haridwar have thinned down drastically after the key ‘akhadas' of seers began pulling out of the Maha Kumbh, citing the surge in coronavirus numbers.
