Scheduled to begin on January 13, 2025, with the auspicious Paush Purnima Snan, the event will conclude on February 26, 2025, with the Mahashivratri Snan. Held in Prayagraj, this historic gathering draws millions of devotees and tourists from across the globe to the sacred confluence of the Ganga, Yamuna, and the mythical Saraswati rivers.Mahakumbh is celebrated every 12 years, a tradition rooted in celestial alignments. According to astrology, the event coincides with Jupiter's transit through Kumbh Rashi and the Sun's presence in Mesh Rashi, symbolizing an extraordinary cosmic event. Additionally, religious beliefs trace its origins to the Samudra Manthan, where a battle between gods and demons over the divine nectar of immortality lasted twelve celestial days, equating to twelve human years.The upcoming Mahakumbh will include six Shahi Snans, the most sacred bathing rituals, starting with Paush Purnima on January 13 and concluding with Mahashivratri on February 26.
