Discover the Maha Kumbh Mela 2025: A Sacred Celebration of Faith and Spirituality

The Maha Kumbh Mela is one of the largest gatherings of people on Earth. Sadhus, saints, Nagas, ascetics, Kalpvasis, and pilgrims from all walks of life come together to experience this religious event, which leaves them spellbound with positivity and spirituality. In Hinduism, the Kumbh Mela is the most sacred pilgrimage, taking place in four different locations in India, rotating among them based on planetary positions. According to ancient Hindu scriptures, the Kumbh Mela is celebrated every 12 years in Haridwar on the banks of the River Ganga, in Nashik on the banks of the River Godavari, in Ujjain on the banks of the Shipra River, and in Allahabad at the confluence of the Ganges, Yamuna, and Saraswati rivers, known as Triveni Sangam.

The Kumbh Mela is held after every third year, the Ardh Kumbh in every sixth year, the Purna Kumbh in every 12th year, and the MahaKumbh in every 144th year after completing 12 Purna Kumbh Melas. It is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to witness the most pious event that sanctifies mind, body, and soul to enlighten the path of spirituality. This sacred month-long Hindu festival is observed in the Hindu month of Magh (January-February).
