The Kumbh Mela is one of the biggest religious festivals in the world, where millions gather to take a holy dip in sacred rivers. It is celebrated at four important locations in India, each with deep spiritual significance. The event symbolizes faith, unity and the belief in cleansing sins for spiritual significance.
Kumbh Mela is a major Hindu festival held every 12 years at four riverbank sites: Prayagraj, Haridwar, Nashik and Ujjain. It features ritual bathing in sacred rivers, believed to cleanse sins, and includes fairs, religious discourses, and community gatherings. In 2019, it witnessed the largest peaceful gathering in history.
