Hindu pilgrimsFact Check
•71% Informative
A video spread online shows an annual stone-pelting ritual in northern India , contrary to claims by social media posts that presented it as Hindu pilgrims attacking each other at the Kumbh Mela mega-festival.
The clip racked up thousands of views in posts sharing the misinformation, but it was in fact filmed in August 2024, months before the start of the world's biggest religious gathering.
Around 200 participants were injured in the ritual, in which worshippers throw stones at each other until a priest determines that "enough blood has been shed for the goddess Maa Barahi ".
