Maha Kumbh Mela 2025: A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for many
The Maha Kumbh is held every 12 years and a huge turnout of devotees is expected in Prayagraj from January 13 to February 26. According to tradition, pilgrims flock to the Sangam--the confluence of the holy Indian rivers Ganga, Yamuna, and Saraswati (now extinct) --to take the holy dip believed to absolve sins and grant moksha (liberation).
The Mahakumbh Mela is expected to host over 45 crore visitors, marking a historic occasion for India.
