Old Video From Varanasi Going Viral As Fireworks On The Last Day Of Prayagraj Maha Kumbh.

Recently a video of fireworks above a river went viral on social media claiming it to be the closing ceremony of the Prayagraj Maha Kumbh 2025. We found a Facebook post with the caption, “The world’s largest spiritual congregation, Maha Kumbh 2025, came to a breathtaking close with a spectacular display of lights and fireworks that illuminated the night sky over the sacred waters. As the 45-day-long gathering concluded, devotees witnessed an unforgettable moment -one that blended spirituality with grandeur.#MahaKumbh2025

However, as we investigated, we came to know that the video is old and unrelated to the Prayagraj Maha Kumbh 2025. Here’s the fact check.

Fact Check

We started our investigation by taking some screenshots from the viral video and conducting a reverse image search. This led us to a YouTube channel where the viral video was uploaded on 16 November 2024. According to the caption, the video was from Dev Deepawali in Banaras. 

Taking this clue, using relevant keywords, we found a video similar to the viral video uploaded on the official YouTube channel of Zee Business on 15 November 2024. According to the caption of the video, it shows Dev Deepawali at Lalita Ghat of Varanasi on the occasion of Dev Dipawali in November 2024.

Moving forward, we found another video report by ANI showing similar footage. According to the report, the visuals were from Lalita Ghat, Varanasi on the occasion of Dev Deepawali.

Other similar videos can be seen here and here.

This makes it clear that the viral video is old and unrelated to the Prayagraj Maha Kumbh 2025.

Conclusion 

From our investigation, we can say that the claim is false. The viral video is old and not related to the recent Prayagraj Maha Kumbh.
