MAHAKUMBH 2025 PRAYAGRAJ DIARIES
Visiting the Purna Mahakumbh Mela 2025 in January was a transformative experience, deeply rooted in the rich tapestry of Hindu spirituality and tradition. This grand event, held every twelve years, draws millions of devotees to Prayagraj, where the sacred confluence of the Ganga, Yamuna, and the mythical Saraswati rivers—known as Triveni Sangam—serves as the backdrop for profound spiritual renewal and communal harmony.
The Mahakumbh Mela is a unique and significant event in Hinduism, occurring every 12 years at one of four sacred locations: Prayagraj, Haridwar, Ujjain, and Nashik. This 12-year interval is determined by astrological alignments, particularly the position of Jupiter, which enters Aries only once every twelve years. During this time, both the Sun and Moon align in Capricorn, creating a powerful celestial combination that enhances the spiritual significance of the event. Various texts have defined Sangam, among which Bramha Purana refers to achieving the benefits of Ashvamedha Yajna by bathing at Sangam and Matsya Purana refers to achieving the benefits of the combined worship of ten thousand pilgrims. Skanda Purana has detailed the benefits of the various Snans (holy baths) during the holy months of January to March. These include Maghi Purnima, Basant Panchami, Mauni Amavasya, and Makar Sankranti.
The Purna Maha Kumbh Mela, considered the most sacred manifestation of this festival, takes place only once every 144 years at Prayagraj (1 cycle=12 years, 12 cycle= 12 years x 12=144 years; Jupiter takes 12 years to complete one revolution around sun and when it completes 12 such revolutions marks the Purna Mahakumbh ) . This rare occurrence is believed to mark an even more auspicious alignment of celestial bodies, making it a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for devotees to seek purification and spiritual renewal through the sacred act of bathing in the holy rivers. The Mahakumbh Mela thus embodies deep mythological roots and astrological importance, drawing millions who aspire for moksha (liberation) and a chance to cleanse their sins. The next Purna Mahakumbh will not take place until 2169, amplifying the urgency and once in lifetime experience for devotees to partake in this sacred ritual that promises purification and liberation from sins through the holy act of bathing in its waters
A Journey into Spirituality
As I embarked on this sacred pilgrimage, the anticipation of witnessing the Shahi Snan, or Royal Bath, filled me with excitement. Scheduled for January 14, 2025, this event marked a significant moment not only for me but for countless others seeking purification and enlightenment. The atmosphere buzzed with devotion as pilgrims from diverse backgrounds gathered to partake in rituals that date back centuries.
The significance of the Mahakumbh Mela is steeped in Hinduism; it commemorates the legendary Samudra Manthan, where drops of divine nectar fell at four sacred sites during the churning of the ocean. This belief underpins the spiritual importance of bathing in these holy waters, believed to cleanse sins and facilitate moksha—liberation from the cycle of birth and death.
Immersion in Rituals and Devotion
Upon arriving at Triveni Sangam early in the morning, I was enveloped by an atmosphere of reverence. The sight of devotees immersed in prayer and meditation along the riverbanks was awe-inspiring. As I joined them for my morning bath, I felt an overwhelming sense of connection—not just to my own spirituality but to a collective consciousness that transcended time and space.
The experience was heightened by my visits to nearby temples, each echoing stories of ancient deities and spiritual teachings. The chants of bhajans resonated through the air, creating an ambience filled with devotion. Witnessing the Naga Sadhus, adorned in traditional attire and performing their rituals, added a unique dimension to my experience. Their unwavering commitment to spirituality served as a reminder of the diverse paths within Hinduism that lead to a singular truth.
Those three days of January 12th, 13th (Purnima) and 14th January (Makar Sankranti) were the best beginners of the year.
Delhi to Prayagraj Junction with Vande Bharat
This was after long 9 years i chose to travel by train and not aeroplane, the cost of one way travel by air was equivalent to a two way travel from Delhi to Dubai via flight ;) and i was excited to have my first experience with VANDE BHARAT EXPRESS. My journey was supposed to start early morning from NDLS New Delhi Railway Station at 6 am but due to dense thick fog the most wanted train Vande Bharat got delayed by around 9 hrs in total and reached Prayagraj in evening around 7:30 pm.

The temple has a statue of the son of Ganga, Bhishma Pitamah, who is shown sleeping on the bed of arrows as had happened in the great war of Kurukshetra. The temple was completed in 1961 by a high court lawyer JR Bhatt. According to priest of the temple Shyam Dhar Tripathi, an old woman was staunch devotee of maa Ganga and used to daily come to take holy dip in the river. She requested Bhatt that she wished to see a temple dedicated to the son of Ganga. Thus came the idea of constructing this temple, which eventually came up on the side of famous Nagvasuki temple near the banks of Ganga.

Mankameshwar Temple
This ancient Lord Shiva Temple is picturesquely located near Saraswati Ghat on the bank of the river Yamuna.Mankameshwar means the God of the fulfillment of wishes and the temple derives its name from an interesting legend. Goddess Sita desired to pray to Lord Shiva following her ritual bathing at the Sangam. Since there was no Lord Shiva temple in the vicinity, Lord Rama built this temple to fulfill her wish. It is still believed that wishes made at this temple are fulfilled.
The temple houses a 3 and a half feet black stone Shivling and is said to have been installed by Lord Ram himself. One can also see the idols of Nandi and Lord Ganesh, Lord Hanuman, a Banyan and Peepal tree in the temple complex. There is also Rann Mukteshwar Shivling in the temple which literally means 'Great God, absolver of debts'. Devotees visit this temple and especially this particular Shivling to clear themselves debts and loans. Being located on the riverside, the temple also boasts some picturesque vistas of the surrounding that are hard to resist while visiting.

31.48 Km km with 43,575 steps. You realize your true potential only when you are put to test, blessed to have completed day 2 stay successfully before dozing off after a full tired day.
Final Day 14th January 2025, the official first Shahi Snan Sangam day of Makar Sankranti.
On final day at 1:38 am while sleeping peacefully on bed, all of sudden an uncomfortable rush felt within body and everything that was consumed last day was vomited out in seconds, maybe due to intense walking previous day. Little uneasiness persisted in body, still had plan to progress towards Triveni Sangam at 3:30 am, for a moment felt like not going but still woke up at 3 am , packed clothes and started walking on foot to Triveni Sangam Noz.
 |
| The ocean of crowd on Makar Sankranti at main entrance while walking through the crowd someone steps onto my sleepers and broke the sleeper. Now had to walk barefoot for 4 km to reach triveni noz and finally took dip at 4:15 am. |
The sun had barely risen on Makar Sankranti, casting a golden hue over the sprawling city of Prayagraj. The air was thick with devotion, vibrating with chants of "Har Har Gange" and the distant sound of conch shells. It was the day when millions gathered at the Mahakumbh to bathe in the sacred Triveni Sangam, seeking salvation and blessings from the divine. I was one among them, a pilgrim drawn by faith and the promise of something greater than myself.
As I made my way through the thronging crowd, my heart raced with anticipation. The narrow lanes were alive with life—vendors selling garlands of marigold, sadhus smeared in ash chanting ancient mantras, and pilgrims carrying offerings of milk and honey for the holy rivers. The energy was electric, almost tangible, as if the very air carried whispers from the heavens.
Suddenly, amidst the chaos, I felt a sharp tug at my heel. Before I could react, my slipper snapped—a casualty of someone stepping on it from behind in the dense crowd. I looked down at the broken footwear in dismay. The path ahead stretched long and uneven, littered with stones and dust. But there was no turning back; Triveni Sangam awaited me, and my heart refused to let this setback deter me.
I took a deep breath and stepped forward barefoot. At first, every pebble felt like a needle piercing my skin, but soon, something shifted within me. The discomfort began to fade as I became acutely aware of the earth beneath my feet—the coolness of the soil, the texture of each step grounding me in ways I had never experienced before. It felt as though I was shedding layers of detachment and reconnecting with something primal.

Huge Crowd gathered on ocassion of makar Sankranti to take dip as part of Amrit Snan at 4 am in morning.

The journey to Sangam transformed into an odyssey of sensations. The crowd seemed to part like waves as I walked onward, each face reflecting a shared purpose—faith. Strangers noticed my bare feet and offered smiles or murmured blessings as if they understood my silent determination. The rhythmic chants around me grew louder, blending with the beating of drums and the cries of seagulls circling above. It was as if nature itself was celebrating this sacred day.
When I finally reached Triveni Sangam, my breath caught in awe. The confluence of Ganga, Yamuna, and Saraswati was mesmerizing—a dance of currents merging into one eternal embrace. Pilgrims dipped into the waters with fervor while priests performed rituals on the banks. The rivers shimmered under the early morning mist's gaze, their surface dotted with floating diyas carrying prayers to unknown realms.
I stepped into the waters barefoot, afraid of feeling their icy touch, but indeed the water was warm as it was a moving water not standing one, seeping into my skin like a blessing from another world. Each step deeper into the Sangam felt like surrendering a piece of myself to something infinite. As I submerged myself eleven times—a symbolic act of purification—I felt an inexplicable lightness wash over me. It wasn’t just my body that was cleansed; it was my soul. (Advice- Always take dip using both hands' thumbs closing your ears and middle finger closing your nose)
The walk back to my hotel was equally profound. Though my feet throbbed from traversing uneven ground, there was a strange joy in every step—a reminder that sometimes challenges are gateways to transformation. The crowd seemed less chaotic now; instead, it felt like a river flowing towards its destiny, each person carrying their own story of faith and resilience.
 |
| The tale of Broken slippers |
By the time I reached my hotel room, I realized that losing my slippers had been more than an inconvenience—it had been a gift. Walking barefoot had stripped away distractions and connected me to something eternal—the earth beneath me, the rivers that flowed through time itself, and the divine presence that lingered in every moment.
 |
| Feeling blessed |
That day at Mahakumbh taught me that even life's smallest disruptions can lead to its most enchanting journeys. And as I closed my eyes for meditation under the rising sun, I knew this experience would remain etched in my heart forever—a tale not just of devotion but of discovery of the power within.

After the transformative experience at Triveni Sangam, I felt an irresistible pull to continue my spiritual journey. My next destination was Shri Hanumat Niketan Temple in Civil Lines, Prayagraj, a place renowned for its divine aura and architectural grandeur. As I stepped into the sprawling three-and-a-half-acre complex, I was immediately enveloped by a sense of serenity. The temple, constructed under the guidance of Saint Ramlochan Brahmachari, stood as a testament to unwavering devotion and determination—a structure raised single-handedly by the saint through the contributions of local residents.
The temple’s centerpiece was the majestic idol of Lord Hanuman, radiating strength and compassion. Surrounding it were shrines dedicated to Lord Shiva, Goddess Durga, Lord Ram, Sita, and other deities. Each corner of the complex seemed to pulse with divine energy. I knelt before Lord Hanuman’s idol, offering my prayers for courage and clarity. As I closed my eyes, I felt an inexplicable warmth—a blessing that seemed to infuse me with strength for the journey ahead.

The temple also housed a Shiva-Shakti shrine that captured my attention. The idols of Lord Shiva and Goddess Durga stood together in harmonious balance, symbolizing creation and destruction—the eternal cycle of life. As I lit a diya and placed it before them, I felt a deep connection to their energies. It was as if they whispered ancient wisdom into my soul, reminding me of resilience in the face of challenges.
After spending hours immersed in prayer and reflection, I stepped out of the temple with a renewed sense of purpose. My next and final stop before bidding adieu was Chandrashekhar Azad Park, known for its historical significance and lush greenery. Walking through its gates felt like stepping into a realm where history and nature coexisted in perfect harmony
The park’s vast 133-acre expanse was dotted with towering trees and meticulously landscaped gardens. In its heart stood the statue of Chandrashekhar Azad—the freedom fighter who had made the ultimate sacrifice here during India’s struggle for independence. As I stood before his memorial, I felt a surge of patriotism and gratitude for his bravery. The tree behind which he had fought his last battle seemed alive with stories of courage and sacrifice
I wandered through the park’s serene pathways, letting its tranquility wash over me. The chirping of birds mingled with the rustling leaves, creating a melody that soothed my soul. Sitting on a bench under the shade of an ancient tree, I reflected on how this journey—from Triveni Sangam to Hanumat Niketan Temple and now Chandrashekhar Azad Park—had been more than just physical; it had been spiritual and transformative.
As dusk settled over Prayagraj, painting the sky in hues of orange and purple, I felt deeply blessed—not just by Lord Hanuman’s divine grace but also by the courage embodied in Chandrashekhar Azad’s legacy. This morning had been a tapestry woven with threads of faith, history, and self-discovery—a journey that would remain etched in my heart forever.
Day 3 distance covered on foot- till 9 am 12.55 km with, 17381 steps. As I reflect on my journey through the sacred landscapes of Prayagraj, from the transformative waters of Triveni Sangam to the divine blessings at various temples covering 65.76 Km on foot, I am reminded that life's most profound moments often lie in its unplanned detours. Walking barefoot through the city's bustling streets, feeling the earth beneath my feet, taught me that sometimes it's the smallest disruptions that lead to the greatest discoveries. And so, as I close this chapter of my travels, I carry with me not just memories but a renewed sense of purpose—a reminder that every step forward, whether planned or unplanned, holds the potential to connect us to something greater than ourselves. Until the next journey unfolds, may the spirit of adventure and the blessings of the divine guide us all.
To my beloved future generations,
In the year 2169, the sacred Purna Mahakumbh will return to Prayagraj—a celestial event that happens only once every 144 years. It is not merely a festival; it is the largest gathering of humanity united in faith, devotion, and the pursuit of spiritual liberation. The Triveni Sangam, where the Ganga, Yamuna, and Saraswati converge, will once again become the epicenter of divine grace, hosting millions who seek blessings and purification.
Do not let this rare opportunity pass you by. The Mahakumbh is an experience that transcends time and space, connecting you to the wisdom of ancestors and the eternal rhythm of the cosmos. Witness the grand akharas of sadhus, immerse yourself in the holy waters, and feel the vibrations of chants that echo through centuries. It is a moment where mythology meets reality, where divinity touches humanity.
Celebrate this gathering with fervor and devotion. Let it remind you of your roots, your culture, and your place in this vast universe. May you carry forward its lessons of unity, humility, and spiritual awakening. Remember, no one can attend two Mahakumbhs in a lifetime—this is your chance to be part of history.
Embrace it wholeheartedly, for the Mahakumbh is not just a festival; it is a timeless blessing.
