Shiva devotees from brazil have come to maha Kumbh!
Many groups of foreign devotees have reached maha Kumbh city to take a holy dip in the Triveni Sangam on maha shivratri, the last bathing festival of maha Kumbh. A group of devotees of lord shiva from brazil is also waiting for the bathing festival of maha Shivratri.
Foreign devotees have started gathering again in maha Kumbh to take a dip of salvation in the Sangam on maha shivratri, the last bathing festival of maha Kumbh. A group of more than two dozen Brazilian youth has arrived from brazil to take a holy dip in the Triveni on maha shivratri, the last bathing festival of maha Kumbh. Group coordinator Henrique More says that all these youth are connected with the devotion of Lord Shiva. Most of them are from Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo cities where there are shiva temples too. Being inspired by lord shiva, they have chosen the maha shivratri festival where the special occasion of maha Kumbh has come after 12 years.
Mahakumbh attracted indian and Afro-Brazilian traditions
These people said that some similarities between indian and Afro-Brazilian traditions attracted them to Mahakumbh. Pao Felipe, a member of the Brazilian group, says that most of the youth in the group are followers of Lord Shiva. Various symbols of lord shiva have been given place in the form of tattoos on everyone's body. Chandra-shaped earrings in the shape of Trishul in the ears and the symbols of shiva, Damru and Mahakal all over the body are giving them a distinct identity.
youth influenced by the culture of Kayapo community
Isabella, a female member of this group, says that its youth are influenced by the culture of Kayapo community in brazil, which has a tradition of getting symbols tattooed on the body. This group of Brazilian youth has been coming to baba Vishwanath's city Kashi every year on maha shivratri, but this time these people have come to Prayagraj due to the discussion in every corner of the world about organizing Mahakumbh in Prayagraj.
