Of all the Maha Kumbh Melas that has been held till date, the 2013 Maha Kumbh Mela is the biggest of all resulting in what has been described as an organizational challenge. Such is the magnitude of the event that a temporary mini pop up city with 40 hospitals and 40000 toilets has been set up by the authorities and over 30000 police personnel and 85 CCTV cameras have been deployed to preside over (what have been roughly estimated) 9 million devotees who have been told to come to Allahabad for a holy dip. 

 Despite its many religious connotations, the Maha Kumbh Mela from an economic perspective is said to have given the tourism industry a much needed boost especially in the Uttar Pradesh tourism department- the organizers of the event.  For an 11.5bn rupees (£130m) spent, the 55 day event is said to garner business worth at least 120bn rupees and is expected to draw over a million foreign tourists.
