The '''2019 Prayagraj Ardh Kumbh Mela''' was the Ardh [[Kumbh Mela]] held at [[Triveni Sangam]] in [[Allahabad]], Uttar Pradesh, India from 15 January to 4 March 2019.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/the-triveni-sangam|title=The Triveni Sangam|website=Atlas Obscura}}</ref><ref name="ndt1">{{cite web |title=Kumbh Mela 2019 Live Updates: Devotees Take Holy Dip In Sangam In UP |url=https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/kumbh-mela-2019-live-updates-devotees-take-holy-dip-in-sangam-in-uttar-pradesh-1977764 |website=NDTV.com |accessdate=15 January 2019}}</ref>

==Governance==
A bill was passed in [[Uttar Pradesh Legislative Assembly]] to set up ''Prayagraj Mela Authority'', a permanent body to oversee the mela. The divisional commission of Allahabad serves its chairperson while the district magistrate and inspector general of police as the vice-chairpersons. Mela officers and other district officials are also the members of this authority.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://indianexpress.com/article/india/bill-prayagraj-mela-authority-uttar-pradesh-assembly-yogi-adityanath-4995023/|title=Bill to set up Prayagraj Mela Authority passed in UP Assembly|date=22 December 2017}}</ref>

==Promotion==
The logo of 2019 Kumbh shows a group of Sadhus bathing in the Sangam confluence of the Ganga and the Yamuna. The Uttar Pradesh government has decreed that all state government documents, letterheads and publicity material, including advertisements and hoardings, should carry the new logo. Moreover, [[cinema hall]]s in the state are directed to display the logo straight after the [[Jana Gana Mana|national anthem]] is played.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/politics-and-nation/uttar-pradesh-letters-to-carry-kumbh-mela-logo/articleshow/62075174.cms?from=mdr|title=Uttar Pradesh letters to carry Kumbh Mela logo|first=Aman|last=Sharma|date=14 December 2017|newspaper=The Economic Times}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://m.hindustantimes.com/india-news/up-cinema-halls-to-show-kumbh-logo-before-screening-movies/story-H7O5J6z57We4L4MKBZEKqL.html|title=UP cinema halls to show Kumbh logo before screening movies|date=3 January 2018}}</ref><ref name="Guar1">{{cite web |last1=Safi |first1=Michael |title=Kumbh Mela: Hindus converge for largest-ever human gathering |url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/jan/15/kumbh-mela-hindus-converge-for-largest-ever-human-gathering-prayagraj-festival |website=The Guardian |date=15 January 2019}}</ref>
