Kumbh Mela is the world's biggest spiritual gathering, an event that comes once in a lifetime, where millions of people, including pilgrims, saints, and tourists, meet together in a time filled with faith and devotion. The celebrations are held alternately in Prayagraj, Haridwar, Ujjain, and Nashik. Every 12 years, it is held at each of these places, while the Ardh Kumbh is held every 6 years.
