Millions took a dip at the Maha Kumbh 2025 on Tuesday, but an octogenarian woman who has attended the religious festival since 1945 was among the devotees that stood out.

Taramati, who hails from Jharkhand's Dhanbad, said she boarded a train at 10 pm and was in Prayagraj within 11-12 hours. The elderly lady, who travelled alone to the Kumbh, said no one can separate her from God, not even her own family. "When people ask my son why he lets me travel to the Kumbh alone, he says he can't do anything about it. He tells people she feels like going, toh nikal jaati hai (so she leaves)," she told NDTV.

The woman said she has an issue in one leg, but that does not stop her from undertaking the rigorous journey to Prayagraj.
