What is Mahakumbh?

The Mahakumbh Mela is celebrated once every 12 years, rotating among four sacred locations in India.

Prayagraj
Haridwar
Ujjain
Nashik

The significance of Mahakumbh is deeply rooted in Hindu mythology. According to ancient scriptures, the gods and demons churned the cosmic ocean (Samudra Manthan) to extract nectar of immortality (Amrit). During the struggle to claim the nectar, drops fell at these four locations, making them sacred sites.
Every Mahakumbh is a profound spiritual celebration, blending devotion, rituals, and age-old traditions. It is said that bathing in the sacred rivers during this event cleanses the soul of sins and leads to spiritual liberation (Moksha).
