Introduction to Maha Kumbh
The Maha Kumbh Mela, held every 12 years in Prayagraj, is the largest peaceful gathering of pilgrims on Earth. In 2025, millions of devotees will converge at the sacred confluence of three rivers - the Ganga, Yamuna, and the mythical Saraswati.
Spiritual Significance
The Kumbh Mela commemorates the celestial battle over the pot (kumbh) of nectar of immortality. Drops of the nectar fell at four locations, with Prayagraj being the most significant.

Beyond its religious significance, the Maha Kumbh is a celebration of Indian culture, bringing together diverse traditions, arts, and spiritual practices.
