Watch: Lakhs of devotees gather for Ganga Aarti in Haridwar amid Covid scare

In Uttarakhand's Hardiwar, lakhs of devotees gathered at Hari Ki Pauri for Ganga Aarti.

This comes at a time when the country is undergoing another Covid wave.

Social distancing norms were flouted.

In normal circumstances, Kumbh continues for nearly four months but this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the duration of the congregation has been curtailed to one month.

Kumbh is held periodically at four different locations in India (Nashik, Haridwar, Prayagraj, and Ujjain) every four years.
