Corroboration: 2 independent outlets

Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on Monday (12 October 2026) unveiled the official logo, website and theme song for the Haridwar Kumbh Mela 2027. The logo, designed by Haridwar resident Madhu Sharma, depicts Mother Ganga, Har Ki Pauri, the Dhanush Bridge and Sanatan symbols. Kalinga TV reports the logo also features a sunrise glow, Times of India describes it as ‘divine radiance’. The official website (haridwarkumbh.uk.gov.in) will provide event information and connect devotees across India and abroad. Dhami said the state government is committed to organising a ‘divine and grand’ Kumbh Mela, with all arrangements to ensure it is safe and well-organised. The theme song, written, sung and composed by Haridwar-based singer Raghav Raja, opens with lines about joy filling the hearts of saints and seers. The Mela administration had invited logo entries from young people and students across Uttarakhand, shortlisting 13 designs before selecting Sharma’s submission.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

Both outlets run neutral, wire-style reports on the logo, website and anthem launch, with near-identical facts and the same Dhami quote. Kalinga TV, carrying ANI copy, adds a description of the sunrise in the logo and names the singer, Times of India calls the logo’s glow ‘divine radiance’ and labels the event ‘Ardh Kumbh’. Neither outlet questions the preparations or provides independent comment, making this uniform coverage of a ceremonial government announcement. The only concrete next step implied is the event itself: the Haridwar Kumbh Mela in 2027.
