UncategorizedThe Nashik Simhastha Kumbh Mela is one of the largest peaceful spiritual gatherings on Earth. Occurring once every 12 years when Jupiter enters the sign of Leo (Simha), millions of pilgrims, ascetics, sadhus from all 13 Akharas, and international travelers gather on the banks of the sacred Godavari River to take a holy dip (Amrit Snan).
Spanning from the official flag hoisting (Dhwajarohan) on October 31, 2026, through the peak royal baths in 2027, and concluding on July 24, 2028, this monumental event turns Nashik and Trimbakeshwar into the spiritual capital of the world.
