This year’s event witnessed an unprecedented turnout, with approximately 66 crore devotees taking a holy dip at the Triveni Sangam, the sacred confluence of the Ganga, Yamuna, and the mythical Saraswati rivers.
Record-Breaking Participation
The 2025 Maha Kumbh Mela set a new benchmark in religious congregations, with the number of attendees surpassing the population of many nations. Millions of pilgrims, saints, and tourists from across the world gathered to take part in rituals, prayers, and spiritual discourses. The event saw participation from political leaders, business tycoons, and celebrities, further elevating its significance on the global stage.
When and Where Will the Next Kumbh Mela Take Place?
The next Kumbh Mela is scheduled to take place in Nashik, Maharashtra, in 2027. The religious gathering will be held at Trimbakeshwar, a town located approximately 38 km from Nashik, on the banks of the Godavari River. The site is home to the revered Trimbakeshwar Shiva Temple, one of the twelve Jyotirlingas in India.
The Nashik Kumbh Mela 2027 will be conducted from July 17 to August 17, marking another significant milestone in the cycle of this grand spiritual tradition.
Why is the Next Kumbh Mela in Three Years?
Kumbh Melas follow a cycle of events in four designated locations—Prayagraj, Haridwar, Nashik, and Ujjain. The fair occurs every three years, rotating among these four sites. The major Kumbh classifications include:
- Kumbh Mela (held every four years)
- Ardh Kumbh Mela (held every six years)
- Purna Kumbh Mela (held every 12 years)
- Maha Kumbh Mela (held once every 144 years in Prayagraj)
Given this cycle, the Nashik Kumbh Mela 2027 is a part of this structured schedule, aligning with traditional astrological and religious calculations.
