The Maha Kumbh Mela is a major Hindu pilgrimage and festival held at Prayagraj (formerly Allahabad), Uttar Pradesh, where millions of devotees come to take a holy dip in the Triveni Sangam — the sacred confluence of the Ganges, Yamuna, and the mythical Saraswati rivers.

This edition in 2025 was particularly special because it was officially termed a “Maha” Kumbh, a rare occurrence that happens only once every 144 years due to astrological alignment, making it extremely auspicious.
