Experience the Soul of India: Your Guide to Maha Kumbh Mela

The Maha Kumbh Mela is one of the largest and most significant religious gatherings in the world. In 2025, the Maha Kumbh Mela will be held in Prayagraj (formerly Allahabad), Uttar Pradesh, from January 14 to February 262.

Different Types of Kumbh Mela

There are four types of Kumbh Melas, each with varying frequencies and significance:


  1. Magh Mela: This is an annual event held in Prayagraj during the Hindu month of Magha (January-February). It is also known as the "mini Kumbh Mela".
  2. Kumbh Mela: This occurs every 12 years and rotates among four sacred sites: Haridwar, Prayagraj, Nashik, and Ujjain. It is a major pilgrimage, drawing millions of devotees.
  3. Ardh Kumbh Mela: This takes place every six years, midway between two Purna Kumbh Melas. It is held in Haridwar and Prayagraj.
  4. Maha Kumbh Mela: This is the most significant and rarest of all Kumbh Melas, occurring only once every 144 years in Prayagraj. It is considered the most auspicious and attracts the largest gatherings of pilgrims.
