Kumbh Mela, recognized as UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage, is the largest peaceful gathering in the world, held every 12 years at four sacred riverbank sites. Devotees gather for spiritual purification and to take a holy dip in the rivers to cleanse their sins and attain salvation.
The origins of Kumbh Mela date back to ancient Vedic scriptures, narrating the story of the divine nectar of immortality and its connection to the sacred rivers.
Highlights include the Shahi Snan (royal bath), discourses by spiritual leaders, cultural performances, and meditation sessions, creating an atmosphere of devotion and unity.
Attracting millions of devotees, sages, and tourists, the event is a melting pot of cultures and spiritual practices, showcasing India's rich heritage.
