Kumbh 2021   –  A little different from past Kumbh Melas

  • This year the Kumbh Mela is being held after 11 years instead of the traditional 12 years. This is because of specific auspicious dates due to favourable planetary conjunction with the zodiac (Rashi).
  • Crowd Management –  Since there are restrictions in place due to Covid 19, devotees who wish to bathe on the Shahi Snan dates have to pre-register on the official website and select a particular Ghat. He will be allotted a specific time slot and will be allowed to bathe for 15 minutes only.
  • All ghats and the Mela area have been divided into different zones and will be monitored constantly. As soon as overcrowding is noticed, additional security will be dispatched to that area.
  • Elaborate and fool-proof arrangements have been promised by the authorities. Security, safety and convenience of devotees have been kept in mind.
  • Visitors from all over the world will be coming to take part in this iconic and mystical event. A Kumbh Mela is something that is unique to Sanatan Dharma and is an experience out of the ordinary.

So what are you waiting for? Pack your bags and zoom to Haridwar. You will witness something that is as spiritual as it is spectacular. If you miss out there will be a long wait of 12 years before you get a chance again. Remember to follow government guidelines and stay safe!
