MAHAKUMBH NAGAR (PRAYAGRAJ): As the grandeur and scale of the Mahakumbh increases with the Uttar Pradesh government claiming that the religious fair is expected to draw an estimated 40 crore (400 million) pilgrims and visitors, past data and experts' estimates indicate that the mega event will be a big money churner.

On the lines of big-ticket events like elections and multinational sports championships, the Mahakumbh is all set to be a hub of economic activity, creating jobs and generating revenue, according to experts and those who have observed the fair closely in the past. The mega event will begin on January 13 and conclude on February 26.
