What is the Kumbha Mela?
Inscribed on UNESCO’s Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, the Kumbha Mela is a vast Hindu pilgrimage where millions of devotees gather to bathe in sacred rivers. Four major locations are recognized for hosting the Kumbha Mela: Haridwar, Allahabad (Prayagraj), Nashik-Trimbakeshwar, and Ujjain. It is believed that bathing in the confluence of the three sacred rivers—the Yamuna, Saraswati, and Ganga—purifies individuals, washing away their sins and liberating them from the cycle of rebirth (Samsara).
