The Maha Kumbh Mela, anticipated to draw over 400 million attendees, is a festival deeply rooted in Hindu mythology, symbolizing the quest for immortality through a sacred pot.
Devotees believe that bathing in the confluence of rivers during the Kumbh Mela can absolve their sins and lead them to moksha, or salvation.
Taking place over 45 days, the Kumbh Mela's largest celebrations occur in Prayagraj, with major ritual bathing days known as shahi snan occurring on specific dates.
This grand festival, occurring once every 12 years, represents a historic moment where communities unite in spiritual significance and ancient traditions along major rivers in India.
