Dandi Swami and Mela administration officials perform bhumi pujan in Prayagraj on Monday
Prayagraj: Prayagraj Mela Authority (PMA) started allotting land to seers, individuals and organisations for setting up camps at Magh Mela ground on Monday. The move marks the formal start of preparations for the Magh Mela.
Magha Mela would start on January 14 next year with the Makar Sankranti snan and culminate on March 11 on Mahashivratri.
Prayagraj Mela Authority (PMA) had finalised the schedule for land allotment after several rounds of meetings.
The administration said that if a seer, individual or organisation does not attend the Magh Mela due to the pandemic, they would not have to face any shortage of the usual facilities extended to them when the fair is organised again in 2022.
