Karan Johar’s talk show, Koffee with Karan, has been a host for many famous stars; however, there is still a very big and well-known name that is missing from the show’s guest list. And that name is none other than the legendary Indian cricket star, Virat Kohli. Even though Anushka Sharma has appeared multiple times at the show, recently Karan Johar has revealed the reason behind his hesitation to bring on her husband on the show.

Entertainment As per the latest development, the Ram Janmabhoomi Temple management committee in Ayodhya has issued an advisory urging local devotees to postpone their visits for 15-20 days. This comes amid an “unprecedented increase” in visitors, largely due to the ongoing Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj. With the ‘Mukhya Snan’ (main bathing ritual) for Mauni Amavasya scheduled for January 29, 2025, the Maha Kumbh is attracting a massive influx of pilgrims. An estimated 10 crore devotees are expected to take a holy dip in Prayagraj on this auspicious day. The temple’s capacity is severely strained because many of these pilgrims are also travelling to Ayodhya from Prayagraj to offer their prayers to Lord Ram. The number of visitors to Ayodhya has skyrocketed in only the last three days. The temple administration observed that it is getting harder to guarantee that so many people may receive darshan of Shri Ram Lalla, which causes logistical issues and lengthier walking distances for devotees. To manage the situation and ensure safety, adjustments to arrangements are being made.

This will ensure convenience for everyone,” the advisory stated. Respected Devotees, Jai Shri Ram! The ‘Mukhya Snan’ (main bathing ritual) for Mauni Amavasya at Kumbh in Prayagraj will take place on the January 29, 2025.

The ‘Amrit Snan’ on Mauni Amavasya is expected to draw around 10 crore pilgrims to Prayagraj in a single day. Over the first 17 days of the Maha Kumbh, more than 15 crore devotees have already participated in the holy ritual. Held every 12 years, the Maha Kumbh 2025 got underway on January 13 and will run through February 26. The government of Uttar Pradesh expects between 40 and 45 crore pilgrims to attend the festival, making it one of the biggest gatherings in the world.

Entertainment Nepali airlines have resumed helicopter rescue operations in the Everest region after weeks of suspension due to protests by local communities. The flights, crucial for emergency rescues in the mountainous region, were halted after locals blocked landing sites, citing concerns over environmental impact and lost income from trekkers. Helicopters serve as a vital form of transportation here, since most of the hilly and isolated areas of Nepal don’t have access to roads. However, the use of helicopters by mountaineering teams and tourists over challenging terrain in the Sagarmatha National Park, for a shortcut, has raised concern Also, although helicopters are essential for emergency evacuations, they are also commonly used to carry wealthy tourists and mountaineering teams, to avoid the difficult two-week walk to Everest Base Camp, which costs a whopping $1,000. This practice deprives local businesses and guides of a vital revenue stream that comes from trekkers spending days in villages along the traditional overland route. In early January, the Airlines Operators Association of Nepal (AOAN) suspended all flights after protesters blocked landing sites with flags and warned pilots they would have to return on foot if they landed. Commercial flights to the Everest region are still restricted, but rescue flights have resumed on humanitarian grounds, according to AOAN official Pratap Jung Pandey, who made the announcement on January 27. To find a solution, local communities and aviation officials are currently negotiating.

Every year, more than 50,000 people travel to the Everest region, and during the busiest trekking seasons, there may be as many as 60 helicopter flights per day. Helicopter rescues are essential for climbers’ safety, according to Mingma Gyalje Sherpa, who runs the climbing adventure business Imagine Nepal. The absence of such services recently forced German mountaineer Jost Kobusch to abandon his solo winter ascent of Everest. In a January 11 Instagram post, Kobusch cited the lack of emergency evacuation options, alongside earthquake-related risks, as reasons for his decision to end the climb.
