Maha Kumbh Mela 2025 Significance
The Maha Kumbh Mela is more than a pilgrimage; it’s a celebration of Hindu beliefs and traditions. According to mythology, the event traces its roots to the Samudra Manthan (churning of the ocean) when drops of the divine nectar of immortality fell at four sacred sites: Prayagraj, Haridwar, Ujjain, and Nashik. The planetary alignment of Jupiter, the Sun, and the Moon determines the timing and location of each Kumbh Mela.
