    Default Kumbh Mela 2013

    Mauni Amavasya snan starts on 10 Feb 2013 at 3.30 am and ends after 21 hours.

    Mauni Amavasya is the day on which Manu rishi appears in this world millions of years ago. It is believed to be the day when the universe was created. On this day, the Sun and the Moon enters into the Capricorn sign. A vow of complete silence is observed on this day known as Maun Vrat. This vow is assumed to control our senses and engage them into the service of Supreme Lord Narayana.

    Visiting the Kumbh Mela to take a dip in the holy waters and cleaning the sins committed in a lifetime is a very superficial motive to attend the Kumbh Mela.

    Most of religious groups offer free accommodation which are simple tent dormitories with basic facilities.

    Flying cameras are used for surveillance of the Sangam area.
