The event holds deep religious and spiritual traditions of Sanatan Dharma and attracts millions of devotees from all over the world.
What is Kalpavas?
In the context of the Maha Kumbh Mela, Kalpavas signifies a holy stay, a period of intense spiritual discipline, and a journey dedicated to the pursuit of higher consciousness. It is a unique opportunity for pilgrims to transcend the normal routine of daily life, fostering a deeper connection with God. The tradition of Kalpavas finds its origin in ancient Hindu scriptures, where saints and ascetics followed austere lifestyles for long periods of time to gain spiritual strength.
