Bollywood actress Raveena Tandon, along with her daughter Rasha Thadani, recently visited the Mahakumbh in Prayagraj. The grand religious event, which takes place once every 12 years, is a sacred occasion for millions of devotees. Raveena and Rasha’s visit was a mix of spirituality, devotion, and tradition as they sought blessings at this holy gathering.
A Special Spiritual Journey
On Monday, Raveena and Rasha, accompanied by a few friends, were seen taking blessings from Swami Chidanand Saraswati, the President of Parmarth Niketan Ashram. Sharing her experience, Raveena expressed deep gratitude and connection to the spiritual atmosphere. Speaking to ANI, she said, “This Kumbh has come after 144 years. So, my friends and I have come here from Mumbai. We have come not just for Ganga Snan but also to our ‘home’. Swami ji’s home is my home, my children’s home.”
She further revealed that after Mahakumbh, she would be heading to Kashi to celebrate Maha Shivratri, another important Hindu festival dedicated to Lord Shiva.

The Significance of Mahakumbh
The Mahakumbh Mela is one of the largest religious gatherings in the world. It began on January 13, 2025, in Uttar Pradesh’s Prayagraj and will conclude on February 26. The event takes place at the Triveni Sangam, the sacred confluence of three rivers—the Ganga, Yamuna, and the mythical Saraswati.
For Hindus, taking a dip in these holy waters during Mahakumbh is believed to cleanse sins and bring spiritual liberation (Moksha). It is a time of deep devotion, where saints, yogis, and devotees from all over the world come together to participate in prayers, rituals, and spiritual discussions.
Millions Gather for the Holy Dip
The scale of the Mahakumbh is massive. According to reports from the Uttar Pradesh government’s Information Department, nearly 630 million devotees had already visited the site as of Sunday. The atmosphere is filled with chants, prayers, and the fragrance of incense, making it a truly divine experience.
With spiritual seekers, celebrities, and common devotees all coming together, the Mahakumbh 2025 continues to be a powerful symbol of faith and unity.
