About Maha Kumbh 2025

The Maha Kumbh is, without a doubt, the largest festival of 2025. While a Poorna Kumbh happens every 12 years, the Maha Kumbh is even more unique since it is a variant of the Poorna Kumbh that takes place only once every 144 years. In an unusual occurrence, the Moon, Sun, Mercury, and Jupiter all align, making the Maha Kumbh the most auspicious Kumbh Mela and a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Over the last month, people worldwide have flocked to Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, to take a sacred plunge in the Triveni Sangam.

Akshay, one of the Hindi film industry's most prominent and adored stars, was dressed in a basic white kurta pyjama as he made his way down the ghat through the crowd and into the water. Akshay knelt on the ground with folded hands before rising and stepping into the water to take a shahi naan at the Triveni Sangam, the confluence of the Ganga, Yamuna, and mysterious Saraswati rivers. Drenched from head to toe, he shook hands with admirers before exiting.

Before Akshay, stars such as Anupam Kher, Vicky Kaushal, and Tamannaah Bhatia went to Prayagraj for the Maha Kumbh to relish the once-in-a-lifetime event.
