Mahakumbh 2025: Shahi Snan Schedule
With the Maha Kumbh Mela all set to take place from January 14 to February 26, 2025, tight security arrangements are being made. The main bathing festival, known as the "Shahi Snan" (royal baths), will take place on January 14 (Makar Sankranti), January 29 (Mauni Amavasya), and February 3 (Basant Panchami).
The Uttar Pradesh government has announced to provide subsidies for the transformation of dhabas, restaurants and hotels on the major routes to offer improved facilities to tourists and devotees attending the festival.
Meanwhile, the head of Juna Akhara, Mahant Hari Giri, said that non-Sanatan religious people would not be allowed in the Kumbh mela.
Speaking to ANI, Giri said, "It is a mela for the Sanatanis. Only people who are devoted to the Sanatana dharm, wish to contribute, and want to work for the mela will be allowed to come. In many situations, non-Sanatan people enter the mela which spoils the whole event. The Akhara Parishad is worried about the security of the mela. All the people who will be coming here will only be allowed to enter the fair area once their Aadhar cards are checked."
