Prayagraj Maha Kumbh Mela 2025 SHAHI SNAN experience

1) About Kumbh Mela
Kumbh Mela is a massive Hindu festival celebrated every 12 years at four sacred locations in India — Prayagraj, Haridwar, Ujjain, and Nashik. The main event revolves around the ritual of bathing in the sacred river, believed to wash away sins and lead to moksha (liberation).

Maha Kumbh Mela, the grandest of all, occurs after 144 years at Prayagraj (formerly known as Allahabad). It holds immense significance as it coincides with the transition of Jupiter into Aquarius, marking a time when the sacred rivers — Ganga, Yamuna, and Saraswati — are believed to hold the power to purify souls.

2) Why Kumbh Mela is Celebrated
The origins of Kumbh Mela lie in the mythological story of the Samudra Manthan (churning of the ocean) between the gods and demons. During the churning, a pot (Kumbh) containing the elixir of immortality (Amrit) was created. A few drops of this divine nectar fell at four locations on Earth — Prayagraj, Haridwar, Ujjain, and Nashik — and these places became the sites of the Kumbh Mela, celebrated to honor the sacred event.

3) Types of Kumbh Mela
There are four types of Kumbh Melas, each celebrated at different times in different locations:

Maha Kumbh Mela: The grandest celebration, occurring every 144 years in Prayagraj.
Purna Kumbh Mela: Held at Haridwar, Ujjain, or Nashik every 12 years, but not on the same year as Maha Kumbh.
Ardh Kumbh Mela: Celebrated every six years in Prayagraj and Haridwar.
Kumbh Mela: Held every three years in one of the four cities, each city hosting the event once every 12 years.

4) Special Dates of Kumbh Mela
Maha Kumbh Mela in 2025 will be held in Prayagraj. The festival spans several weeks, and different dates are considered more auspicious for ritual bathing (snan). The key dates to remember are:

Makar Sankranti (January 14, 2025): The beginning of the festival.
Maghi Purnima (February 9, 2025): A very auspicious date for holy dips.
Mahashivaratri (February 17, 2025): A significant day for devotees.
Baisakhi (April 14, 2025): Celebrating the harvest season, also an important date for the Kumbh Mela.

5) Shahi Snan Dates
The Shahi Snan (Royal Bath) is the highlight of the Kumbh Mela, where the Naga Sadhus and other saints take a dip in the holy river, symbolizing the victory of good over evil.
