Maha Kumbh: A Celebration of Faith
The Maha Kumbh Mela, celebrated every 12 years, is one of the largest religious gatherings in the world. Rooted in Hindu mythology, the festival rotates among the four sacred cities of Haridwar, Prayagraj, Ujjain, and Nashik. It is a convergence of devotion, tradition, and culture, attracting millions seeking spiritual upliftment.

The 2025 Maha Kumbh will commence with the first Shahi Snan on January 13, the auspicious day of Paush Purnima.
