Largest Religious Gatherings by Single-Day Crowd
About This Dataset
Largest Religious Gatherings by Single-Day CrowdThe top three in Estimated Peak Single-Day Crowd in 2026 are Maha Kumbh Mela (Prayagraj) (76,000,000), Ardh Kumbh Mela (Prayagraj) (50,000,000) and Kumbh Mela (Prayagraj) (30,000,000). The 11 entries cover a range of 72,840,000, from 76,000,000 down to 3,160,000. First and second are separated by 26,000,000, so the leader sits inside the field rather than apart from it. Only 2 of the 11 reach even half the leader's figure (38,000,000 or more).

- Values are shown as reported by the source. Nothing is rescaled, rebased or converted — the only changes are thousand separators and decimals shown to two places.
- Missing years are left empty rather than estimated — no interpolation, no carrying a previous year forward.
- Change is measured between the first and last year in which an entity actually reported a value, so a series that starts late is not penalised for the years before it existed.
- The compound annual rate is (last ÷ first)^(1 ÷ years) − 1, using those same two reported years.
- Entities are ranked highest-first on their value in 2026.
- An entity that reported nothing in the latest year is still listed — it follows the ranked entities in the table rather than being dropped.
