MAHA KUMBH MELA
(submitted on Mauni Amavasya day 29 January 2025)
Kumbh Mela occurs once in twelve years
In tune with the transitory position of planets
It is performed in Prayagraj, Haridwar, Nashik or Ujjain
On the banks of sacred rivers divine.
In Haridwar there is Ganges river
In Ujjain it is Shipra river
In Nashik it is river Godavari
In Prayagraj it is confluence of Ganga Yamuna Saraswati.
When Jupiter Sun Moon align in almost a line
River water on earth turns sacred as a shrine
A dip in this holy water gives a healthy sound body mind
That's the age old belief for the mankind.
One such cycle occurs every twelve years
Mercury Venus come close once in twelve cycles
This happens in one hundred forty four years
When river water is believed to turn into nectar.
This time it occurs in UP's holy Prayagraj
Which has three sacred rivers like a collage
It's Maha Kumbh Mela in twenty twentyfive
Making it holiest of holy period to thrive.
