Try to reach Prayagraj in the morning. After roaming around the fair the whole day, you should leave for your city by train or bus in the evening. Special trains are being run to reach Maha Kumbh.
There is a facility for tents in Maha Kumbh, but it is very expensive. At present, hotels in Prayagraj are also expensive, and there is no place for people to stay in public tents. In such a situation, people have to live on the streets.
If you are spending the night in Maha Kumbh, you can carry things like shawls and sheets with you.
If you have to stay in Prayagraj, you can book a hotel away from the fair. Because you can get cheaper hotels in the outer areas.
