The Mahakumbh Mela in Prayagraj is known for its spiritual importance and huge thronging of crowds. Lately, it’s trending online because of a surprising reason—a garland seller. Mona Lisa, from Indore, has created buzz because of her different look and amber-colored eyes, dusky complexion, and the way she speaks. This name has created even more interest, especially from male netizens.
She is now quickly becoming one of the most-talked-about personalities on social media through the quick spread of photos and videos. As she turned overnight into a sensation on television, this soon-wondered fame fueled debate over respect and boundaries in the digital era. A viral video, uploaded on “shivam_bikaneri_official”, features a popular YouTuber asking Lisa whether she has any male followers that she likes on social media. Lisa was straightforward: “Why would I like any of them? All of them are my brothers,” she said, adding that she would only marry someone chosen by her parents.

While most of them loved her beauty, the attention has sparked controversy with people worried that this may turn into exploitation, mainly from the way male influencers and passers-by appear to be clicking pictures rather than giving due respect to the sacred nature of the gathering. One such user wrote: “Bhai, it’s as if you’re disturbing her. This is Maha Kumbh, the most spiritual gathering in the last 144 years. Have you any awareness?” Others have slammed the video creators for making the sacred gathering look like a spectacle.
In fact, despite all the controversy, Mona Lisa’s Instagram following is soaring and her account has been tagged in several viral videos. In fact, the whole incident has really opened wider conversations about the fine line between admiration and exploitation in the digital world.
