Frequently Asked Questions​

The 2025 Kumbh Mela is a Purna (complete) Kumbh, coming after 12 years. Further, this event is particularly significant as it is considered the Maha Kumbh, which happens once every 144 years (12 Kumbh cycles)

This rare alignment is believed to create an auspicious time for spiritual activities, with pilgrims taking holy dips in the rivers to cleanse themselves of past sins and attain moksha (liberation).
