The MahaKumbh 2025 is one of the most awaited spiritual gatherings in India, attracting millions of devotees from across the world. In this vlog, I, along with my friend from my colony, took a sacred dip at the Triveni Sangam in Prayagraj, an experience that was both divine and mesmerizing. During our journey, we met the famous Kante Wala Baba, saw a stunning replica of the Ram Mandir, explored various holy statues, and shared essential travel tips for visitors planning to come to MahaKumbh 2025.
Arrival at Sangam – The Journey Begins
We started our journey early in the morning to avoid the heavy rush at Sangam. The roads leading to Sangam were well-managed by the government, with clear signboards guiding devotees. The police and volunteers were actively helping visitors, ensuring that everyone reached their destination smoothly. As we approached the Sangam area, the energy in the air was palpable—chants of Har Har Mahadev and Ganga Maiya Ki Jai echoed all around.
The Sacred Holi Bath at Sangam
Taking a dip at Sangam during MahaKumbh is considered highly auspicious, as the convergence of the Ganga, Yamuna, and the mythical Saraswati purifies one’s soul. As we stepped into the water, we felt an overwhelming sense of devotion. The water was cool, and thousands of devotees were chanting prayers. We immersed ourselves in the holy waters, praying for peace, prosperity, and the well-being of our loved ones.
The vibe at the Sangam was surreal. The sight of saints, pilgrims, and devotees from different parts of the country, all gathered for one purpose, made the moment even more special. Many families were performing rituals, and the air was filled with the fragrance of incense sticks and the sound of conch shells.
Meeting the Famous Kante Wala Baba
One of the highlights of our vlog was meeting Kante Wala Baba, a renowned saint who has taken a unique path of devotion. He is known for covering his entire body with metal thorns (kanta), symbolizing his extreme penance and dedication to spiritual life. We had an interesting conversation with him, where he shared his thoughts on devotion, MahaKumbh, and his reason for practicing this unique form of tap (austerity).
His presence attracted many devotees, all eager to seek his blessings and learn about his philosophy. He emphasized the importance of meditation, self-discipline, and leading a life of simplicity. Meeting such an extraordinary saint was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and we made sure to capture this conversation in our vlog to inspire our audience.
Exploring the Replica of Ram Mandir and Holy Statues
As we walked further, we came across a beautifully crafted replica of the Ram Mandir that has been set up at MahaKumbh 2025. The structure was an exact replica of the grand temple in Ayodhya, allowing devotees to witness its beauty even if they haven’t visited Ayodhya yet. The intricate carvings, grand pillars, and divine idols made it a sight to behold.
Alongside the temple replica, there were numerous holy statues representing different deities and mythological characters. From the towering Shiva idol to beautifully decorated figures of Lord Hanuman, every corner of the Kumbh was filled with spiritual energy. Many devotees were seen offering prayers, clicking pictures, and appreciating the craftsmanship of these religious sculptures.
Guidance for Visitors – How to Reach Sangam & Manage Luggage
Since many devotees, especially first-time visitors, might find it overwhelming to navigate the vast MahaKumbh area, we decided to include an informative section in our vlog to help them with travel and safety tips.
1. How to Reach Sangam?
The best way to reach Sangam is via government-run buses and rickshaws, as private vehicles are not allowed near the main areas.
Prayagraj Railway Station has special arrangements for Kumbh travelers, with shuttle buses available every few minutes.
For those traveling from other cities, direct trains and flights to Prayagraj are the most convenient options.
2. Best Time for the Snan (Holy Bath)
Early morning and late evening are the best times to take a dip at Sangam, as the crowd is comparatively less.
Following the official MahaKumbh snan schedule will help devotees plan their visit better.
3. Food & Accommodation
Free food (langar) is available at many places, serving delicious and pure vegetarian meals.
Temporary tent cities have been set up for accommodation, but it’s advisable to book in advance.
Final Thoughts – The MahaKumbh Experience
The MahaKumbh 2025 at Prayagraj is an event that truly captures the essence of spirituality, faith, and devotion.
