Explaining Maha Kumbh Mela with a Sand Model

As the Uttar Pradesh capital city Prayagraj prepares to host the Maha Kumbh Mela in 2025, one of Nick's recent videos has caught everyone's eye on Instagram. Here, in a video, Nick elaborates on the significance of the Kumbh Mela with a creative sand model that he created on the beach in Goa. It already has garnered over 12,000 likes, and Nick encourages the viewers to share it with friends and those who may have an interest in the event.
