Description
It is one of the world's largest gatherings held at India's sacred rivers, particularly in Prayagraj as the city has not one but three sacred rivers - the Ganga, the Yamuna and the Saraswati.
"The Kumbh Mela is more than a festival—it is a grand celebration of spirituality, faith, and cultural harmony. In 2025, millions of devotees from across the globe will gather in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, for the Maha Kumbh Mela, one of Hinduism's most revered religious events. Held every 12 years, this sacred gathering has its origins in the ancient myth of the Samudra Manthan, the cosmic churning of the ocean by gods and demons in their quest for the nectar of immortality."
