PRAYAGRAJ: The British had arranged for 3,000 barber 'badas' (enclosures) for devotees in the 1870 Kumbh Mela and 2,688 enclosures in the second Kumbh Mela in 1882.

Of the total Rs 41,824 earned by the government in 1870, one-fourth was received by way of barber tax.

In 1882 Kumbh, out of Rs 49,840 revenue earned by the government, Rs 10,752 was collected as tax from barbers.
