In an interview, her sister-in-law, Falguni Pandya, mentioned that before attending the Kumbh, she asked Williams if the event was visible from space. Williams responded by sending a picture of the Kumbh Mela from the ISS.
The Maha Kumbh Mela, held every 12 years, is one of the world's largest religious gatherings, attracting millions of pilgrims to bathe in the sacred waters of the Ganga River. The event's magnitude is so vast that it is visible from space, as evidenced by Williams' photograph.
Williams, who has Gujarati heritage, has previously carried symbols of her cultural roots into space, including samosas, a Slovenian flag, and a Ganesha idol. Her recent sharing of the Kumbh Mela image from space further highlights her connection to her Indian heritage.
