Taking sacred baths at Maha Kumbh Mela is believed to purify the soul and wash away sins. Let’s look at the dates of all the shahi snan, history, and significance of the holy mela.

As the festivities continue in grandeur and pomp, another ritualistic bath takes place on the 12 of February, aligning with the Maghi Purnima tithi. On the 26th of February, with the celebrations of the Maha Shivaratri, the Kumbh Mela concludes, marking the end of the greatest religious gathering.

Each date holds unique significance, with the Shahi Snans being the highlight as they feature grand processions by ascetics and saints.
