Mumbai: The grand spiritual gathering of Prayagraj Mahakumbh 2025 commenced on January 13, marking the beginning of this sacred event. The first ‘Amrit Snan’ (holy dip) took place on January 14, coinciding with Makar Sankranti, where saints, seers, and devotees from across the country took a dip in the holy confluence (Sangam). Following this, the second ‘Amrit Snan’ was held on Mauni Amavasya, and the third took place on Basant Panchami.
After the third Amrit Snan, many saints and sages returned to their respective akharas, but the Mahakumbh Mela is still ongoing. The festival will conclude on the auspicious occasion of Mahashivratri, which also marks the final holy dip of Mahakumbh. Let’s take a look at the auspicious timings for the last ritualistic bathing and donation.
Prayagraj Mahakumbh 2025 End Date
Following Magha Purnima, the next and final holy dip of Mahakumbh will take place on Mahashivratri. The sacred occasion begins on Wednesday, February 26, at 11:08 AM and concludes on February 27 at 8:54 AM. Since Mahashivratri rituals are observed during the night, the fasting and puja will take place on February 26, which will also mark the conclusion of the Mahakumbh Mela.
Auspicious Timings for the Final Holy Dip
According to the Hindu Panchang (calendar), the last Mahakumbh bath should ideally be taken between 5:09 AM and 5:59 AM on Mahashivratri. Additionally, other favourable time slots for the ritual bath are:
- Morning Twilight: 5:34 AM to 6:49 AM
- Amrit Kaal: 7:28 AM to 9:00 AM
- Vijay Muhurat: 2:29 PM to 3:15 PM
- Godhuli Muhurat: 6:17 PM to 6:42 PM
Significance of Taking a Holy Dip in Triveni Sangam
Bathing in the Triveni Sangam during Mahakumbh is considered highly auspicious. It is believed to purify the mind and soul, helping devotees attain salvation by absolving them of sins committed knowingly or unknowingly. The spiritual merit gained from bathing in the sacred confluence during Mahakumbh is said to be equivalent to the benefits of countless yajnas (sacrificial rituals) and penances.
As the grand Mahakumbh 2025 nears its culmination, devotees and spiritual seekers are preparing for the final holy dip on Mahashivratri, embracing this divine opportunity to cleanse their souls and seek divine blessings.
