Kumbh Mela is probably the largest religious gathering anywhere around the world. Although millions of pilgrims visit Kumbh Melas from around the world, the Kumbh Mela of Haridwar is the most visited of all other pilgrimages in India. Haridwar is termed as the gateway to heaven in Hindu mythological scriptures.
This year the Kumbh Mela will be held for a shorter span than previous years due to the Covid-19 pandemic situation. The Uttarakhand government has issued that the Maha Kumbh will be only 30 days. It will be organized from April 1 to April 30, 2021. |
