Significance Of Mauni Amavasya
The Amrit Snan on Mauni Amavasya is the most significant ritual of the Maha Kumbh. Devotees will engage in silence, fasting, and ancestral worship as part of the rituals at the Sangam.

The Amrit Snan on Mauni Amavasya is the most significant ritual of the Maha Kumbh. This year, a rare celestial alignment called ‘Triveni Yog’ is occurring after 144 years, amplifying the spiritual significance of the day. Devotees will engage in silence, fasting, and ancestral worship as part of the rituals at the Sangam.
As per tradition of the Kumbh Mela, Akharas belonging to the three sects ‘Sanyasi, Bairagi, and Udaseen’ take the holy dip in a set sequence following a majestic, awe-inspiring procession to the Sangam Ghat.
The Triveni Sangam — the confluence of Ganga, Yamuna, and Saraswati — is considered the holiest by Hindus, with a belief that taking a dip in it during Maha Kumbh and particularly on special bathing dates like Mauni Amavasya washes away people’s sins and provides them ‘moksha‘ or salvation.
Being held after 12 years, the Maha Kumbh kicked off on January 13 and will continue till February 26.
