I couldn’t find any officially listed Kumbh Mela special train service operating between Shri Ganganagar and Haridwar in the available records for the 2025 Maha Kumbh Mela.
🔍 What We Do Know:
- Indian Railways operated around 3,000 special trains during the Maha Kumbh Mela (13 January – 26 February 2025), targeting major pilgrim routes directly to Prayagraj—which was the main festival location.
- Shri Ganganagar, located in Rajasthan, did operate a seasonal special fare train (04723/04724 Sri Ganganagar–Barauni Kumbh Special), that reached Prayagraj, not Haridwar
🚫 No Direct Shri Ganganagar–Haridwar Specials:
- Haridwar is a major Kumbh site for Uttarakhand, not Prayagraj. The 2025 Maha Kumbh was held at Prayagraj, so special trains were focused toward that region.
- Haridwar–Shri Ganganagar Intercity Express (14711/14712) is a regular daily express, not a special Kumbh service.
- There are no records of any special trains running between Shri Ganganagar and Haridwar during the Prayagraj Kumbh period.
