Held Every 12 Years

Kumbh Mela at Nashik occurs once every twelve years, with Ardh Kumbh (half Kumbh) held every six years. The timing is determined by astrological positions of Jupiter and the Sun.

Holy Godavari River

The sacred Godavari River, originating from Trimbakeshwar, is considered one of the holiest rivers in India. Bathing in its waters during Kumbh is believed to wash away sins.

Millions of Pilgrims

The Nashik Kumbh Mela attracts millions of devotees from across India and the world. The gathering includes saints, sadhus, and pilgrims seeking spiritual blessings.

The Legend of Amrit

According to Hindu mythology, during the churning of the ocean (Samudra Manthan) by gods and demons to obtain the nectar of immortality (amrit), drops of the nectar fell at four places: Prayagraj, Haridwar, Ujjain, and Nashik (Trimbakeshwar). These four places are where Kumbh Mela is celebrated. The sacred gathering offers devotees a chance to cleanse their sins and attain spiritual merit by bathing in the holy waters during auspicious times.
