Maha Kumbh 2025, which commenced on Paush Purnima (January 13), is the world’s largest spiritual and cultural gathering, attracting devotees from across the globe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It will continue until Mahashivratri on February 26.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Maha Kumbh, being held after 12 years, has so far drawn over 38 crore pilgrims from across India and the world, according to the Uttar Pradesh government, which is hosting the mega fair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
