PRAYAGRAJ: Of the total Rs 41,824 earned by the government in 1870, one-fourth was received by way of taxes from barbers.
In 1882 Kumbh, out of Rs 49,840 revenue earned by the government, Rs 10,752 was collected as tax from barbers. Besides, Rs 4 was fixed as tax paid by each barber for doing business in the fair, revealed records of the Regional Archives.
The British officially organized the first Kumbh in 1870, for which the then secretary of North West Provinces (NWP) JR Red issued an order to organize the fair successfully, which was implemented by the then commissioner of Allahabad J Samson. The next five Melas were organized under their supervision in 1882, 1894, 1906, 1918 and 1930.
