The youth of Buxar have done a wonderful act to take a dip in this mahaparva of faith. Seven youths of Kamharia in Buxar set the journey from Buxar to Prayagraj in the Ganges with the help of boat. Its video is now viral on social media. In fact, a group of seven people from Buxar in Bihar completed a 550 km journey to Prayagraj for Mahakumbh Mela using a boat as a means of transport. His journey to cover the distance in two days was widely discussed on social media as a video of his boat ride went viral.
After seeing heavy traffic and congestion in trains on the roads from 8-9 February, the group left for pilgrimage. Due to the jam of all traditional travel routes, he prepared a unique plan. Used a motormot to run a boat in the Ganges and reach Mahakumbh. In the event of failure, two motors were attached to his boat as a backup. Under the leadership of Sukhdev Chaudhary, equipped with ration, water and fuel, the convoy went out on his journey. Despite the motors, sometimes they had to run the boat by hand for 5-6 kilometers due to excess heat. Their nights were cut in Pali, which ensured continuous movement towards Prayagraj.
The group left Buxar on 11 February, and managed to take a holy dip in Sangam in Prayagraj on the morning of 13 February. The cost of the entire journey was around Rs 20,000, including petrol, food and necessary provisions.
