“The video shows people travelling to the 2025 Prayagraj Mahakumbh in a boat-shaped vehicle called Kaliyug’s Pushpak Viman.”
What FACTLY found
The viral video originates from Thailand. Several Thai users shared it on social media in November 2024, predating the 2025 Prayagraj Mahakumbh. A news article confirmed the viral video is of Thai origin. The same video was also identified as Thai on Newsflare, a platform for verified user-generated content. Additionally, Shutterstock features images of the vehicle, attributed to Thailand, with a signboard showing “Kamphaeng Phet,” a province in Thailand. The viral video is unrelated to India.
