Did Nehru take a dip in Kumbh? In sidney UNSW In South Asian and World History Associate Professor Kama Maclean “Pilgrimage and Shakti: Kumbh Mela in Allahabad from 1776-1954” I printed a picture of Nehru from Kumbh of 1954. In this picture published in The Leader on 21 January 1954, Nehru Paush is at the confluence on the day of Purnima.
Writing about this photo, McLeen wrote in her book: “During another visit to the fair on Paush Purnima, in the presence of media photographers, he stopped to immerse his hand in the holy water of the confluence, which the media understood as Achman (right -handed purification ritual) It is clear from the photo that Pandit Nehru was not doing this ritual, because he was wearing his shoes at that time. “
