A viral video circulating on social media is shedding light on the crowded scenes outside the famous Bade Hanuman Mandir in Prayagraj during the ongoing Maha Kumbh Mela. The video, which has gained widespread attention, records devotees engrossed in searching for their footwear they left unattended on streets before heading inside the temple.
The visuals were recorded outside the Bade Hanuman temple visited by thousands of devotees. People who removed their shoes and chappals before entering the holy premises found it difficult to find them after they returned. The massive rush resulted in a flood of footwear on the street outside the temple, making it difficult for people to spot theirs.

Notably, people could have deposited their footwears at stalls designed for the purpose or with local vendors, but many removed it at an unattended open space before joining the temple queue.
It wasn't sure how many could actually spot and collect their shoes from the spot, but we must say those who did were indeed lucky.
Netizens react
Netizens shared a wide range of reactions as this video showing Maha Kumbh devotees struggling to find the chappals they left before entering the Hanuman temple of Prayagraj surfaced online.
They commented on the chaotic situation of people finding it hard to spot and take out their footwear by saying, "Why leave it at random place. Putting it at someone's shop would have been better to find shoe back". Another comment jokingly read, "Check the size, wear anyone that fits you and walk out".
