Mahakumbh 2025

 Mahakumbh, Prayagraj 2025

Maha Kumbh Mela in 2025 is poised to attract an estimated 45 crore devotees from across the globe, making it one of the largest gatherings in human history.

As the banks of the sacred confluence of Ganga, Yamuna, and the mythical Saraswati at Prayagraj host the Maha Kumbh Mela 2025, millions of devotees and spiritual seekers are set to take a holy dip or ‘shahi snan’ in the river.

The Maha Kumbh is not just a religious gathering but a convergence of faith, culture, and history. What makes the 2025 edition of this grand mela even more remarkable is its rare celestial alignment, which occurs once in 144 years. This means 12 cycles of 12 different Kumbh melas were completed before this Maha Kumbh Mela came around.

 “The Maha Kumbh in 2025 is particularly special because it aligns with celestial configurations that occur once in 144 years, making it an extraordinary event for devotees and spiritual seekers..

The Kumbh Mela, celebrated every three years in rotation among four sacred sites — Prayagraj, Haridwar, Ujjain, and Nashik—is deeply tied to celestial configurations, particularly the movements of the Sun, Moon, and Jupiter. However, the Maha Kumbh, held exclusively at Prayagraj every 12 years, is considered a more significant spiritual event.

Dilwara Temple, Mount Abu

The Dilwara Temples' complex enshrines five prominent Jain idols, each housed within a separate courtyard. 

The complex is bordered by bijou shrines honouring holy tirthankaras (saints). Built by the Solankis in the eleventh century, the temples are renowned for their marble ornamentation and carvings. 

Among the many mysteries harboured within the temple walls, perhaps the greatest is how long-ago labourers managed to transport huge blocks of marble from Arasoori Hill to Mount Abu, along an incline of 23 kilometres, on elephant back.
