The Maha Kumbh Snan is a remarkable religious occasion, where devotees from around the world gather at the Triveni Sangam to take a holy dip. The days of the royal bath are the most crowded during the Kumbh Mela, especially when the tradition of the royal bath is followed. Three royal baths have already taken place in this Kumbh, and in this article, we will tell you when the next royal bath will be and how to prepare for this special occasion.

Basant Panchami Royal Bath Timing 2025:

The royal bath can be performed throughout the day on Basant Panchami, but if we talk about the most auspicious time for the royal bath, it will be between 5:23 AM and 6:16 AM on February 3, 2025. This time is considered Brahma Muhurat, especially auspicious for spiritual practices. Taking a dip in the Sangam during this time is believed to bring great blessings, and it is said that all sins are washed away during this period.

Features of Amrit Snan (Royal Bath):

The Amrit Snan at Maha Kumbh is considered extremely sacred and auspicious. On this day, the Naga sadhus are the first to bathe, who are regarded as the ancient protectors of religion and culture. After them, the general devotees take their bath. It is a tradition that the religious protectors (Naga sadhus) take the first dip.

Upcoming Royal Bath Dates:

The Maha Kumbh Mela will see more royal baths in the coming days. Here is the list of dates for upcoming royal baths:

• 3rd February 2025 - Basant Panchami (Royal Bath)
• 12th February 2025 - Magh Purnima (Festival Bath)
• 26th February 2025 - Maha Shivaratri (Festival Bath)

Importance of Royal Bath: The royal bath at the Kumbh Mela holds special significance. It is believed that taking a dip in the Sangam on this day brings immense spiritual merit. Not only does it cleanse the sins of the current life, but it is also believed to purify the sins of previous generations, bringing peace to the souls of ancestors.

Precautions During Sangam Snan:

Due to the huge crowds during Maha Kumbh, it is essential to take some precautions:

• Avoid Crowds: Try to bathe at ghats where the crowd is less. There are several ghats within a 15-kilometer radius of Sangam where you can take a bath.
• Avoid Heavy Luggage: Avoid carrying heavy items as they can cause inconvenience.
• Stay Safe: Learn from the stampede on Makar Sankranti and avoid sleeping on the sand. Stay in safe areas and stay away from rumors.

The Maha Kumbh Mela will conclude with the royal bath on Maha Shivaratri on February 26. This mela is an unforgettable experience for devotees. Join this sacred occasion and earn the blessings of the royal bath during Maha Kumbh. The mela administration has released helpline numbers for devotees to get help in case of any issues.
