The Maha Kumbh Mela is one of the largest religious gatherings in the world, held in India. It occurs every 12 years at four major pilgrimage sites in India: Haridwar, Prayagraj (formerly Allahabad), Nashik, and Ujjain. Each location hosts the festival once in every 12-year cycle.
The next Maha Kumbh Mela in 2025 will be held in Haridwar, Uttarakhand. Haridwar is situated along the banks of the river Ganges, considered one of the holiest places in Hinduism. The festival attracts millions of pilgrims who come to bathe in the sacred river, which is believed to cleanse sins and bestow spiritual merit.
During the Maha Kumbh Mela, various rituals, ceremonies, and cultural events take place, making it a significant event not only for religious purposes but also for cultural and social exchanges. The scale and spiritual significance of the Maha Kumbh Mela make it a unique and deeply revered event in India's cultural landscape
