Maha Kumbh 2025: Mark These 3 Sacred Dates in February for Holy Dip at Sangam

Maha Kumbh 2025, one of the largest spiritual gatherings in the world, is currently underway in Prayagraj. Devotees from across the country and beyond are flocking to the Triveni Sangam—the sacred confluence of the Ganga, Yamuna, and the mythical Saraswati—to take a holy dip. While millions have already participated in the ritualistic baths, three particularly auspicious days in February are expected to witness an overwhelming influx of pilgrims.

Three Most Sacred Bathing Dates in February

Mauni Amavasya (February 3, 2025)

Considered the most significant day for snan (holy bath), Mauni Amavasya is believed to cleanse devotees of their sins and grant spiritual liberation. Traditionally, sages and saints observe silence (maun) on this day while performing the ritual. The Sangam will witness an enormous gathering, with lakhs of pilgrims taking a dip at the break of dawn.

Basant Panchami (February 12, 2025)

Dedicated to Goddess Saraswati, Basant Panchami marks the arrival of spring and is an important occasion for spiritual rejuvenation. Taking a dip at Sangam on this day is believed to bring wisdom, prosperity, and good fortune.

Maghi Purnima (February 26, 2025)

The full moon day of the Magh month holds immense religious significance. Devotees consider it an ideal time to offer prayers and seek blessings from the divine. The snan on this day is believed to fulfill wishes and bestow peace and prosperity.

Tight Security and Crowd Management

The Uttar Pradesh government has ramped up security and logistical arrangements for the smooth conduct of the Maha Kumbh. Special crowd control measures are in place to prevent stampedes, following previous incidents.

With these three sacred days approaching, devotees are preparing for an unparalleled spiritual experience at the Maha Kumbh 2025, embracing the belief that a dip at the Sangam can pave the way for salvation.
