All About Maha Kumbh Mela 2025 On OTT
While a lot is buzzing across the country, this year has a deeply spiritual reason to be the most auspicious of the decade. The nation is gearing up to celebrate the once-in-12-years event, the Maha Kumbh Mela. Held in the heartland of India, this is one of the most sacred events for the Hindu community, eagerly awaited for over a decade. Known as the world’s largest spiritual gathering, it is often called the biggest spiritual celebration on the planet. As we prepare for the Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj this year, sages, saints, devotees, and pilgrims are making their way to the holy town for the sacred dip at the Sangam. But what about those who cannot attend? Don’t worry—we’ve got you covered!
The Maha Kumbh is an auspicious event that occurs every 12 years and is associated with taking a dip in holy waters to cleanse sins and receive divine blessings. It rotates among four key sites: Haridwar, Prayagraj, Ujjain, and Nashik. This year, it will take place in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh. The sacred Kumbh Mela is set to begin on January 13, 2025, and will continue until February 26, 2025—a total of 44 days. Every day, millions of devotees will flock to the holy city, making it a globally significant spiritual spectacle.
For those unaware, the Shahi Snan is the most important ritual of the Kumbh Mela. Various orders and groups of ascetics called Akhadas participate in the Shahi Snan at the Triveni Sangam. Specific dates are designated for these royal baths. The Akhadas arrive at the Sangam in grand processions, featuring elephants, chariots, and majestic cars. It is believed that the Shahi Snan has the power to cleanse one's soul and ease the path to liberation.
This year is even more special because the Mana Kumbh, which occurs every 144 years, coincides with the Maha Kumbh. Participating in the Shahi Snan during this rare event is considered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The Shahi Snan dates for 2025 are as follows:
