Such a Maha Kumbh has come after about 144 years. That is why it is being considered very sacred. It is estimated that this time around 45 crore people can reach this Maha Kumbh for bathing. Kumbh Mela has started from January 13. It will end on February 26 on the day of Mahashivratri. According to religious beliefs, bathing here destroys sins and attains virtue. Especially, it is believed that taking a royal bath during Maha Kumbh gives special benefits. Due to this, this time on the occasion of the first royal bath on Makar Sankranti, more than three and a half crore devotees took a dip in the Kumbh.
It is known that this time there are a total of 6 Amrit Snans. Out of these, the bath of Paush Purnima on January 13 and Makar Sankranti on January 14 has been completed.
