Maha Kumbh 2025
Prayagraj will host the great celebration that will reawaken the ‘Amrit Kumbh’ that resulted from the battle between gods and demons millions of years ago. While Prayagraj hosts the Magh Mela annually, the Ardh Kumbh and Kumbh Mela are celebrated every six and twelve years, respectively.
The Kumbh Mela is held in Prayagraj and three other places every twelve years. When you dive in Kumbh, all of your sins are wiped away. In 2025, the Kumbh Mela will begin on January 13.
The Puranas make reference to Kumbh. When Lord Dhanvantari brought the Kumbh of Amrit at the Samudra Manthan, it is thought that the gods and demons fought to obtain the Amrit. Lord Vishnu gave Jayant, the son of Devraj Indra, the order to take the Kumbh and go in order to safeguard the Amrit from the demons.
Significance of Maha khumb
When Jayant, the son of Devraj Indra, flew into Devlok with the Kumbh, Shukracharya, the demon guru, noticed him. Drops of Amrit leaked at eight locations in Devlok and four locations on Earth during this celestial battle, but ultimately the Kumbh was delivered from the demons. The custom of awakening Amrit Kumbh in all four locations began when the droplets of Amrit fell into the flowing Ganga rivers in Prayagraj and Haridwar, the Kshipra in Ujjain, and the Godavari in Nashik.
The Kumbh Mela is held every 12 years because of the ongoing struggle between the gods and the demons that lasted for 12 human years.
The Kumbh Mela is scheduled to begin on January 13 and run until February 26 in 2025. Prayagraj is where the first Kumbh Mela will be held. In Hinduism, the Maha Kumbh Mela is very significant. You can obtain salvation by bathing in Maha Kumbh.
