According to estimates more than 400 million people are expected to witness this grand event "MAHA - Kumbh 2025" from
across the world.
In Hindu mythology it is believed that bathing in the Sangam during Kumbh when the planets are aligned in certain
positions, can absolve them of sin, thereby liberating them from the endless cycle of life and death.
According to UNESCO, Kumbh Mela is the largest congregation of pilgrims on earth, and plays a central spiritual role in
the country, encapsulating the science of astronomy, astrology, spirituality, ritualistic traditions and social and
cultural customs and practices making it extremely rich in knowledge.
Kumbh Mela has been listed as an intangible cultural heritage under UNESCO.
