At the same time, after the conclusion of Mahakumbh, the story of the success of Prayagraj’s sailor Pintu Mahara has become a topic of discussion. Sailor Pintu Mahara earned 30 crores by running a boat for 45 days in Mahakumbh. This matter was discussed about Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath himself in the UP Assembly. Let’s know the story of sailor Pintu Mahara becoming a millionaire in Mahakumbh.
CM Yogi praises himself
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath shared the success story of a sailor family during the Kumbh in the assembly. He said, ‘I am telling the success story of a sailor family here. This sailor family had 130 boats. In a period of 45 days, these people earned pure savings of Rs 30 crore i.e. 1 boat earned Rs 23 lakh in 45 days. The name of which CM Yogi narrated the story of the sailor family is Pintu Mahara.
Earning 30 crores in 45 days in Mahakumbh
Let us know that the story of Pintu Mahara, who boats the devotees in the Ganges in Prayagraj Mahakumbh, is no less than an inspiration. The sailor of Arail village, situated on the banks of Triveni Sangam, changed the fate of the family with his thinking and hard work. Pintu took a bold decision in view of the arrival of a large number of devotees during Mahakumbh. He put his family at stake till the deposits, even to sell the jewelry of women and mortgage the house. With this money, he bought 70 boats and served the devotees for 45 days in Mahakumbh.
M70 boats purchased before Hakumbha
When the Mahakumbh ended, Pintu got the fruit of hard work in the form of crores. His success story was so impressive that Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath himself mentioned it in the assembly.
Many generations of Pintu Mahara’s family, resident of Arail village in Prayagraj, have been associated with this profession, but Pintu’s thinking brought this tradition to a new height. Seeing the huge crowd of devotees during the last Ardh Kumbh, Pintu was aware that even more people would come to the next Mahakumbh. This was the reason that he took a big decision-he bought 70 new boats by putting the entire deposit of his family at stake. This led to a total of 130 boats.
Jewelry had to be sold at home
However, this decision was not easy. Many family members opposed this, even his mother Shakuntala Devi became angry. The women refused to sell the jewelry, but Pintu stood firm on his decision. Eventually, his trust proved to be correct. During Mahakumbh, his boats earned so much that now his family has become financially strong.
