After a wait of twelve years, Mahakumbh Mela 2025 is all set to happen at Prayagraj. This will be a 48-day-long festival, bringing together millions of saints, spiritual seekers, and devotees to the Triveni Sangam, the sacred meeting point of the Ganga, Yamuna, and Saraswati rivers, who will be participating in daily rituals and obtain spiritual liberation. The Mahakumbh Mela starts on January 13 and ends on February 26.

The Mahakumbh’s core lies in its sacred bathing rituals, known as snans. Devotees believe these holy immersions purify them from sins, liberate their ancestors, and pave the way for spiritual liberation (moksha). Certain dates during the mela see a surge in devotion, culminating in the Shahi Snan – a grand procession of saints and ascetics that marks the spiritual zenith of the event.

Why Mahakumbh Occurs Every 12 Years

The Prayagraj Mahakumbh follows a 12-year cycle, a celestial dance guided by the stars. It unfolds when Jupiter journeys into Aquarius while the Sun graces Aries. This cosmic alignment, occurring roughly every 12 years, sets the stage for this grand spiritual gathering.

The Mahakumbh’s roots lie in the ancient Hindu myth of Samudra Manthan. As per the legend, devas and asuras churned the ocean in their relentless pursuit of amrita, the nectar of immortality. These holy rivers, touched by the divine, are believed to wash away sins and offer a path to liberation.
