Upcoming Kumbh Mela: Why It Matters

The Upcoming Kumbh Mela alternates between Haridwar, Prayagraj, Nashik, and Ujjain, but every three years. However, Mahakumbh Mela is a phenomenon that occurs only once in 12 years in Prayagraj, when the conjunction of celestial bodies increases the sanctity of the event.

Explore the Iconic Kumbh Mela Places

The Kumbh Mela rotates among four sacred cities in India, known for their historical and spiritual significance. The major Kumbh mela places are Prayagraj, Haridwar, Nashik, and Ujjain. These are held in a cyclic way by each city at three-yearly intervals in accord with celestial movements so that this divine congregation gets an opportunity for devotees to take place every three years.

Among all, Mahakumbh Mela occurs only once in 12 years at Prayagraj on the merging of rivers Ganga, Yamuna, and Saraswati. That’s its significance compared to others. The serenity of Shipra in Ujjain reflects India’s spiritual essence, from ghats of Haridwar to the Godavari banks in Nashik.
