About Kumbh

Kumbh Mela is one of the most significant and ancient religious festivals in the world, celebrated as a grand gathering of devotees who assemble to perform ritual bathing in sacred rivers. This event holds profound spiritual, cultural, and social significance within Vedic tradition, drawing millions of pilgrims and ascetics (sadhus) from across India and around the world.
  • The total area of the Kumbh Mela spans 3,700 to 4,000 hectares (around 37 to 40 square kilometers).
  • The 2025 Maha Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj is expected to attract over 150 million visitors during the event.
  • On peak days, particularly during the Shahi Snan (royal bath), the crowd can reach 30 to 50 million in a single day.
