The Maha Kumbh Mela, one of the largest religious gatherings in the world, has drawn millions of devotees and ascetics to the banks of the Ganges River. Hindu sadhus (ascetics) performed sacred rituals, including mass holy dips, prayer chants, and fire ceremonies, to mark the auspicious event.

Clad in saffron robes or covered in ash, the ascetics symbolize renunciation and spiritual discipline. Their rituals are believed to purify the soul and bring blessings. The Kumbh Mela, held every 12 years, is a celebration of faith, tradition, and unity, attracting global attention.
