Maghi Purnima marks the final Amrit Snan of Kumbh Mela, and it is considered highly auspicious for devotees to take a holy dip in the Ganga on this day. I want to know the exact date and time for the Amrit Snan during Kumbh 2025. What is the best time (Shubh Muhurat) to take the dip, and are there any special rituals associated with this day?
Also, since it is the last major bathing event of the Kumbh, will there be any special arrangements or restrictions for devotees? If anyone has attended Maghi Purnima Snan in previous Kumbh Melas, kindly share your experience and any tips for a smooth and spiritual darshan.
The Maha Kumbh Mela also known as the Prayag Kumbh Mela for the year 2025 started on 13th January to 26th February 2025 at the Triveni Sangam in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh. According to some belief Such Mahakumbh mela occurs once every 144 years. It also symbolizes the victory of Gods over demons. Maha Kumbh Mela holds great significance in Hinduism wherein the Shahi Snan and the Amrit Snan are considered the most auspicious.
The Kumbh Mela is attended by Sadhus from all over India these Sadhus or their groups take a first holy dip this ritual dip is traditionally called shahi Snan or royal bath however this year it is called Amrit Snan. It is also believed that taking a dip after these revered saints allows devotees to benefit from their vast wisdom and blessings. Amrit Snan is always an auspicious time marked by various planetary alignments and specific Muhurats. It is also believed participating in an Amrit Snan yields spiritual merit which is equivalent to performing a thousand Ashwamedha Yagyas.
