Recommended Kumbh Mela 2013 Accommodation in Allahabad
In Sanskrit ‘Athiti’ means guest and “Atithi devo bhavaḥ” or अतिथि देवो भवः is a phrase equating guests to God. India is extremely rich in its culture and tradition which traces its roots back to the ancient Vedic stories. The guests in India are treated with extreme respect and are put at an elevated pedestal conforming to all their needs and luxuries. Stories in the Vedas like the one where Lord Vishnu visited his devotee’s house ratify the foundational nature of the tradition deeply engrained in Indian society. But unfortunately with the rise in commercialization and increasing separation from religion among the newer generations, this tradition is gradually dying out. The Kumbh Mela is also subjected to commercialism where people are using religion affinities of people to make money and accommodation is a big part of it. Travel agents have turned the great religious spectacle into a business and charge exorbitant rates from the pilgrims for accommodation and other facilities.
The site recommends accommodation at ISKCON or International Society for Krishna Consciousness’s.
The following table provides the details of the rates and facilities it offers.
The prices include accommodation as described and Prasadam (Food which offered to Lord Krishna).

Why we recommend ISKCON Accommodation during Kumbh Mela?
Based on our personal experience of staying in ISKCON temples we can ensure that you will get
- First class vegetarian food – Prasadam.
- Spiritual enlightenment by attending the functions at campsite.
There are many other religious groups having their own camps in Maha Kumbh festival and you can search for them as well to get inexpensive accommodation.

I need cheap, safe, clean accommodation for my stay(Rs500-rs1000/day with food or Rs500/day without food).I would stay for atleast 4 nights.I would like to associate with any of the known religious bodies or ashrams also with rich heritage and history, as I would like to participate in their activities/satsang/volunteering. Also I would prefer to live closer to the main bathing location. Apart from ISKON also suggest other known ashrams/organization to stay with, as I already know ISKON, I am looking forward for ashrams with more of spiritual background and good heritage and history not really into the public domain much. Anyway, ISKON could be an option. SUggest plz
