The Maha Kumbh Mela is recognised as the world’s largest gathering of people. It is not merely an event or fair, but a grand cultural spectacle that represents India’s rich culture and deep-rooted faith. Devotees from across the country and around the globe come to participate in this sacred pilgrimage.
The Maha Kumbh takes place once every 12 years at the confluence of the Ganga, Yamuna, and Saraswati rivers. Taking both in the holy river Ganga during the Maha Kumbh holds immense significance, as it is believed to absolve sins, grant eternal virtue, and lead to salvation.
In 2025, the Maha Kumbh will commence on January 13 and conclude on February 26. This time, two auspicious coincidences mark the beginning of the Maha Kumbh, and it features six designated bathing dates. Renowned astrologer Chakrapani Bhatt from Kashi has highlighted these auspicious timings and important dates for the Maha Kumbh bathing rituals.
Maha Kumbh To Begin Under Two Auspicious Coincidences
According to astrologer Chakrapani Bhatt, this time, two auspicious coincidences occur on the commencement day of Maha Kumbh. One is Paush Purnima, which is traditionally associated with bathing and donations, and believed to bestow significant virtues. Second is Ravi Yog, which will begin at 7:15 AM on the day and continue until 10:38 AM.
