Makar Sankranti, marking the sun’s journey into the northern hemisphere, brings a burst of color and festivity to the Kumbh Mela. Pilgrims brave the winter chill to bathe in the sacred rivers, resonating with joyous melodies and prayers of gratitude.

These bathing dates aren’t mere rituals; they’re profound journeys of the soul, weaving together threads of devotion and transcendence within the divine spectacle of the Kumbh Mela.
