The Kumbh mela originated way thousand years back from Hindu texts. When the Samudra Manthan took place, 4 drops of nectar immortality fell in the 4 locations and Prayagraj was one of them.
The Kumbh Mela of Prayagraj has the largest religious gathering in the world where people come from across the world to take a bath.
Kumbh Mela is held every 12 years as it is the rotation of 4 locations: Haridwar, Ujjain Nashik and Prayagraj.
The dates of Kumbh mela are determined by the timing and rotation of the Sun, Moon and Jupiter.
Kumbh Mela was added in the UNESCO heritage in 2017 as a cultural heritage of Humanity.
The Kumbh Mela takes place in the Triveni Sangam where Ganga, Yamuna and Saraswati river meets.
Kumbh Mela 2025 is going to be held in Prayagraj Sangam and this year is considered to be auspicious as it had come after 144 years.
