Maha Kumbh Mela 2025: World's Largest Spiritual Gathering The Maha Kumbh Mela 2025 in Prayagraj, India, has already welcomed 148 million devotees, with numbers expected to reach 400 million over six weeks. Pilgrims gather at the Triveni Sangam for the sacred Shahi Snan (holy dip), believed to cleanse sins. The event features enhanced security, a 4,000-hectare temporary city, and expanded transportation services. Notable attendees include Prime Minister Narendra Modi, business tycoon Gautam Adani, and international celebrities. However, a stampede on January 29 resulted in 38 deaths, prompting safety concerns. The Maha Kumbh remains a symbol of faith, tradition, and global spiritual unity.
