Preparations for the Magh Mela in Prayagraj
During the period of Samundra Manthan, when the war broke out between the Gods and the Demons for the Amrit (nectar of immortality), a few drops of Amrit fell on four places on Earth, which are Haridwar, Prayagraj, Nashik, and Ujjain. Therefore, the Magh Mela is organised every year at these four places, and people gather for the Ganga Snan. Taking a holy dip in the Ganga Snan at Prayagraj is considered highly auspicious because it is the convergence of the holy rivers Ganga, Yamuna, and Saraswati. This year, the Magh Mela will begin on the first day of the month of Magh, 4th January, and will continue until Mahashivratri, 15th February 2026.
