The Kumbh Mela stands as the single largest gathering of human beings at any one place and time worldwide. The term "Mela" denotes a gathering or fair, while "Kumbh" in Sanskrit translates to a pitcher. According to mythology, during the "Samudra Manthan," the churning of the oceans, drops of Amrit (the elixir of immortality) fell from the sacred Kumbh at four sites: Haridwar, Ujjain, Nasik, and Prayagraj, as gods and demons battled for possession.
According to astrologers, the spiritual positioning of planets plays a significant role. The Kumbh fair at Haridwar aligns with Jupiter entering Aquarius and the Sun entering Aries. This planetary position is believed to medicate the waters of the Ganga, turning it into nectar, attracting millions to purify their inner selves through holy bathing rituals. The next Purna Kumbh Mela is scheduled at Prayagraj from the middle of January 2025 to the beginning of March 2025, witnessing the convergence of millions of pilgrims, sadhus, and saints for ritual cleansing baths in the holy River Ganges on auspicious days.
The Mela is celebrated at these four locations. The Ardh (Half) Kumbh Mela occurs every six years at Prayagraj and Haridwar, and the Purna (Full) Kumbh Mela every twelve years. The grand Maha (Great) Kumbh Mela takes place after twelve Purna Kumbh Melas, equivalent to 144 months, at Prayagraj. In Prayagraj, it stands on the site of ancient Prayag, a holy city comparable in fame to Varanasi and Haridwar. Each year, a festival takes place at the rivers' confluence, and every 12th year, a much larger festival, Maha Kumbh Mela, draws millions of devotees.
An extensive network of temporary toilets will be installed throughout the venue to maintain hygiene and sanitation for the millions of pilgrims and visitors.
A dedicated team of 15,000 sanitation workers will be deployed to ensure cleanliness and upkeep of the event area, providing a safe and pleasant environment for everyone.
Each sector will be equipped with a waste transfer station to facilitate efficient waste management, ensuring that litter is promptly collected and disposed of.
The event will feature seven distinct riverfronts, allowing attendees to experience the sacredness of the rivers while ensuring ample space for activities and gatherings.
To cater to the influx of visitors, facilities akin to those found in airports will be available, including information desks, waiting areas, and amenities that enhance the overall experience of the attendees.
Comprehensive medical facilities and emergency response teams will be strategically located throughout the venue to ensure immediate assistance for any health-related issues or emergencies that may arise.
