1 Night - 2 Day Maha Kumbh Mela Ujjain Tour

Package Overview

Kumbh Mela is the holiest congregation of Hindus. Devotees gather to attain salvation with bathing in the holy river waters. The largest gathering in the world happens every 12 years for Purna Kumbha and every 6 years for Ardh Kumbha. The pious festival is celebrated at four places in India: Nashik (on the banks of River Godavari), Ujjain (on the banks of River Kshipra), Haridwar (on the banks of River Ganga) and Allahabad (on the banks of Sangam; confluence of Ganga, Yamuna and Saraswati).

The next Mahakumbh is in Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh. The holy gathering happens when Jupiter ascends into sun sign Leo's quarter and is called 'Simhastha Kumbh Mahaparv'. The ritual of bathing in the holy waters of Kshipra begins on the full moon day of the Hindu month of Chaitra (March-April) and continues on various dates until the full moon in the following month of Vaishakha.

Day wise Itinerary

• Day 1 : History of Kumbh Mela

  The Puranas (holy texts of Hindus) mentions the origin of Kumbh Mela. The Ksheer Sagar (Ocean of Milk) was churned (Samudra Manthan) by Devas (Gods) and Asuras (Demons). The Meru Mountain was used as a churning rod and the serpent Vasuki was used for rope. Out of the churning came out Amrit (nectar of immortality). Both Devas and Asuras wanted the amrit and there was 12 days of struggle. During the struggle few drops of nectar fell on four places on Earth and those places are celebrated during Kumbh Mela. As 1 day of the divine means 12 years of human, the Kumbh festival is held every 12 years.

• Day 2 : Rituals of Kumbh Mela

  Every Kumbh Mela, the astronomical positions are similar to the situations which led to Samudra Manthan and the falling of nectar at four places on earth. During the festival the same cosmic energy is felt in the waters therefore all devotees gather for a dip in the holy waters. The waters are so divine that they are said to purify sins of the people and their ancestors. Hymns are chanted, people pray at the bathing ghats and charity is done. Kumbh is the world largest and holiest pilgrimage.
