Weather Impact On Mahakumbh Mela 2025

Pilgrims are advised to be cautious while travelling early in the day due to reduced visibility caused by fog. The mornings may feel chilly, so warm clothing is recommended for those venturing out for early rituals, including the holy dip at the Triveni Sangam.
