The grand Mahakumbh 2025 began on January 13, with a massive gathering of devotees taking holy dips at the sacred confluence of rivers.

While any day during the Kumbh is considered auspicious for bathing, the Amrit Snan holds unparalleled significance. These special baths, aligned with celestial configurations, are believed to offer immense spiritual merit, absolving one of sins and granting divine blessings.

The first Amrit Snan was conducted on January 14, 2025, coinciding with Makar Sankranti, marking the Sun’s transition into Capricorn (Makara Rashi). The grand event saw Nagas, saints, and devotees participating in a spectacular procession leading to the ritual bath.

Here are the upcoming key dates for the Amrit Snan and other important bathing events:

Upcoming Amrit Snan Dates Second Amrit Snan – January 29, 2025 (Mauni Amavasya) Known as Mouni Amavasya or Maghi Amavasya, this day is believed to be imbued with divine nectar (Amrit) from the heavens.
