Kumba Mela

Kumbh Mela is a major Hindu pilgrimage festival held in India, where millions of devotees gather at specific sacred rivers to bathe and cleanse their sins. The event occurs periodically, rotating among four pilgrimage sites, based on astronomical calculations. Participants believe that bathing during Kumbh Mela offers spiritual purification and the chance for liberation (moksha). The festival also features rituals, prayers, cultural performances, and spiritual discussions, making it one of the largest human gatherings worldwide, emphasizing faith, community, and renewal.
