Mahakumbh is a festival for every Hindu, who desperately waits for the occasion to witness its positivity and holiness. However, the festival has arrived after 144 years of waiting. Many individuals are waiting to attend this spiritual heritage and celebration. So, through this guide, you will get information about the Maha Kumbh from its past to the present. Let's begin!

Origin of Kumbh Mela

According to Hindu beliefs, the Kumbh Mela is connected with Samudra Manthan. It is one of the most famous fights between "Devtas "and "Asurs," or gods and evils for the "Amrit." Both god and evil wanted to get Amrit's pot and to resolve the fight, lord Vishnu's immortal avatar Mohini took responsibility for its distribution. Meanwhile, few Amrit spilled on the four places of earth and all those places are chosen for Kumbh Mela. Therefore, after every cycle, the mela comes to these places, which include Haridwar, Prayagraj, Ujjain, and Trimbak (Nashik). 

Maha Kumbh Mela Schedule

If you are thinking that Kumbh Mela has a specific date by which we plan our Kumbh Snan Then you are probably wrong. Well, our Hindu priests, having spiritual knowledge and planet knowledge have already made a calendar of the Kumbh Mela schedule. But, there is no fixed date to celebrate the festival. As per the calculation, the celebration depends on the position of Jupiter, the sun, and the moon. The cycle of the festival repeats every 12 years. Hence, this year it started on 13 January 2025 till 26 February 2025 at Prayagraj.  Here is the chart of sc schedules days of Kumbh Snan:
