The Magh Mela 2026, part of the sacred Maha Kumbh traditions, is one of the largest spiritual gatherings in the world. Every year, millions of devotees, saints, and pilgrims gather at Prayagraj Triveni Sangam, the divine confluence of the Ganga, Yamuna, and mythical Saraswati rivers, to take a holy dip (snan).
