Understanding the Significance of Mahakumbh

The Mahakumbh Mela held every 12 years at Prayagraj, represents the pinnacle of Hindu spiritual gatherings. This grand festival traces its roots to ancient Hindu mythology, where drops of immortality (Amrit) fell at four locations during the cosmic churning of the ocean, with Prayagraj being one of these sacred sites.

Why Prayagraj?

At the heart of Prayagraj lies the Triveni Sangam – the divine confluence of three sacred rivers:

• The mighty Ganga
• The serene Yamuna
• The mystical Saraswati

This sangam is considered the holiest of all confluences in Hindu tradition, making Prayagraj the “King of Pilgrimage Sites” (Tirthraj).
