Maha Kumbh has gone viral on Instagram in 2025 and won many hearts online. In a small clip, someone was asked to his mother (from behind the camera), “What happened?” It seems that he has seen something in his surroundings. When questioned, she smiles and tells that she has found “Bathua’s greens” (A type of green leafy vegetable). She moves to the roadside, which seems to be a parking lot and some leaves grow there. She holds a small herd in her one hand. He was later seen collecting large amounts of plastic bags. The person shooting the video mentions that he is in the Maha Kumbh Mela.
