Megh Mela Is Going On Till March 10 In Triveni Sangam

MEGH MELA

AT

ALLAHABAD

The Magh Mela is one of the greatest annual religious affairs for Hindus. Hindu mythology considers the origin of the Magh Mela to be the beginning of the Universe. An important occasion, the Magh Mela is held every year on the banks of Triveni Sangam (the confluence of the three great rivers Ganga, Yamuna and Saraswati) in Prayag near Allahabad in Uttar Pradesh.

In accordance with the traditional Hindu calendar followed in North India, this holy fair is organised every year during the Hindu month of Magh (corresponding to mid January - mid February of the Gregorian calendar); hence the name. The Magh Mela is, however, not confined only to the month of Magh and the important bathing dates are spread over a period of 45 days. The Magh Mela is actually a smaller version of Kumbh Mela. Hence it is also known as mini Kumbh Mela.

The second Maha kumbh of this century at Prayag concluded with a magnificent ritual bathing on the occasion of Mahashivratri on March 10, 2013. The Kumbh, the largest gathering of humanity on any occasion on the earth, had started with a ritual bathing on Makar Sankranti day, January 14, and in the 55 days of its duration, nearly 12 crore pilgrims and visitors from all over India and many corners of the world took a dip at the Sangam – the confluence of the holy rivers Ganga, Yamuna and the mythical Saraswati.

During the entire Mela, the sadhus, especially Naga sadhus, various Akhadas, religious and other rituals attracted the attention of visitors from around the globe. For the millions of pilgrims and visitors, taking a dip in the Sangam is more than a mere bath, but an expression of one’s faith in the great divine power.
