Kumbh Mela Experience (when applicable)

Prayagraj

Prayagraj hosts the Kumbh Mela — the world's largest human gathering — every 12 years (Maha Kumbh) and every 6 years (Ardh Kumbh), when tens of millions of pilgrims descend on the Sangam to bathe on auspicious dates. Even a day visit during this period is a once-in-a-lifetime human experience of staggering scale and devotion.
