The Significance of Mahakumbh Mela
Mahakumbh Mela is one of the largest religious gatherings in the world. It is held every 12 years and attracts millions of devotees, saints, and spiritual seekers from across the country and beyond. The festival holds deep spiritual significance, as it is believed that taking a dip in the holy waters washes away sins and brings blessings.
As the Mahakumbh Mela nears its conclusion, the final major bathing ritual is scheduled for February 26, coinciding with the auspicious occasion of Mahashivratri.
