The Maha Kumbh Mela is a massive Hindu pilgrimage that occurs every 12 years. Millions of devotees gather at sacred rivers like the Ganges to bathe, seeking spiritual purification. The event symbolizes the victory of gods over demons in Hindu mythology. It is celebrated at four locations: Prayagraj, Haridwar, Nashik, and Ujjain. Devotees believe bathing during the Mela brings salvation and cleanses sins.
