One of the grandest spiritual gathering events in India is Prayagraj Kumbh Mela 2025. Devotees and holy men from every corner of the world assemble at Triveni Sangam for a bath, considering it as the meeting place of three sacred rivers: Ganges, Yamuna and the Saraswati that mythologically exists. This is said to burn all evil deeds with a single bath for salvation. Therefore, the key bathing dates have been listed below for the deeper spiritual experience.
Key Bathing Dates
1. Paush Purnima–13 January 2025: This is the first day of Kumbh. This day is considered a holy day to bathe. The soul gets cleansed by bathing on this day.
2. Makar Sankranti (First Shahi Snan)–14 January 2025: This is the planetary alignment day. The most auspicious Shahi Snan is on this day. Big processions attend this Snan.
3. Mauni Amavasya (Second Shahi Snan) – 29 Jan 2025: Often referred to as the silent new moon, this is a highly auspicious time for one who looks to silence and meditation for renewal. Hence, the third most significant day in all of these purification processes.
4. Basant Panchami (Third Shahi Snan) – 03 Feb 2025: The procession comes alive, and in that sense, it becomes very important to all for every Shahi Snan.
5. Achla Saptami– 4th February, 2025: It is a day that is not on the list of Shahi Snan but has extreme symbolic importance as devotees worship the sun god and seek blessings.
6. Maghi Purnima – 12th February, 2025: This full moon day is spiritually charged as well, and bathing at the destination is said to be sure-shot for spiritual aspirations to be fulfilled.
7. Maha Shivratri – 26 February 2025: The last bath is devoted to Lord Shiva. It is also the conclusion of Kumbh Mela.
Why Shahi Snan is so Special
The Shahi Snan, or the Royal Bath, marks the spiritual peak. On the sacred days, devotees and saints from all the different branches of Hinduism perform religious rites and bathe themselves in the river to be cleansed of past crimes. Immense processions, led by revered sadhus wearing sacred robes, make a spectacular display of faith and devotion. A dip on the days is believed to impart tremendous spiritual benefits and it is said to be one way of attaining “moksha” or liberation.
Why is Kumbh Mela Celebrated?
The place of origin of Kumbh Mela traces itself back to the mythology of Hindu. It is a story in which there has been a battle between gods and demons, both battling over the nectar of immortality. According to the myth, droplets of nectar fall on earth at four different locations, and one of these locations is Prayagraj, during the said battle. Due to these droplets, the people believe these places to be sacred land. This is one of the reasons the devotees visit the place called Kumbh Mela to receive their blessings as well as forgiveness.
