Allahabad Kumbh Mela 2025

The Allahabad Kumbh Mela 2025 (also called the Prayagraj Kumbh Mela) will be a grand spiritual gathering, expected to attract millions of pilgrims and tourists. Held at the Sangam, the confluence of the Ganges, Yamuna, and the mythical Saraswati rivers, this is one of the most important religious events in India. The Kumbh Mela takes place every 12 years in Allahabad, where devotees come to take a holy dip, believed to cleanse them of sins and grant spiritual liberation.

Key Highlights:
Shahi Snan (Royal Bath): The most auspicious part of the Mela, when revered saints and pilgrims immerse themselves in the sacred waters. The bathing dates are determined by astrologers.
Naga Sadhus: Renowned ascetics who lead the processions and take part in the ceremonial bath.
Religious Discourses and Temples: Numerous spiritual sessions, prayers, and cultural events are held throughout the Mela, offering devotees a chance for reflection and devotion.
