Islamabad:A young girl named Mona Lisa, who sells flower garlands at the Maha Kumbh Mela in India, has gone viral on social media, captivating millions with her beauty and innocence. Within a few hours of her video being posted, it garnered over one million likes.

Mona Lisa, a young girl from Indore, has become the center of attention during the 2025 Maha Kumbh Mela, held at the Triveni Sangam in Prayagraj. During this religious festival, which takes place once every 144 years, thousands of devotees come to take a holy dip in the Ganges River. Mona Lisa is selling colorful garlands made of pearls to the devotees.

Her natural beauty, with her dark skin and amber eyes, has enchanted social media users. Additionally, her unique way of speaking in the videos posted on Instagram has drawn a great deal of attention, particularly from men who are curious about her.

Mona Lisa has an Instagram account where her “Reels” went viral within hours, receiving over a million likes. In one of these videos, a YouTuber asks her where she is from and if she has social media accounts. When she confirms, the YouTuber tells her that she should be the most famous person right now.

In another video, someone asks Mona Lisa if she is married, and she replies that she is just 16 years old and too young for marriage. Her innocence becomes evident when another person asks if she has a favorite among her many followers on social media. She replies, “Why would I like any of them? They are all my brothers. I will marry someone whom my parents choose for me.”

However, Mona Lisa’s sudden viral popularity has sparked mixed reactions. Many people have criticized the men who have taken selfies with her, stating that the Maha Kumbh Mela is a sacred place where people come for spiritual purposes. One user commented, “It seems like you are disturbing her. This is Maha Kumbh, the most spiritual event in the last 144 years, respect this place.”

Another comment read, “She is truly beautiful! But how shameful it is for those following her. Seriously, how low can you go?”

In one video, a YouTuber tries to give Mona Lisa a gift of 5,000 rupees, but she refuses to accept it. After much persuasion, she agrees to accept 10 rupees, on the condition that the person buys a garland from her in return.

The controversy surrounding Mona Lisa’s sudden rise to fame has raised questions about the respect for the sacred event and the boundaries of social media fame.
